title = "Global Recycling Networks in the Context of Climate Change: Ecologically Unequal Exchange and Divergent Governance Paths",
abstract = "This chapter builds a new theoretical framework for exploring whether global recycling networks (GRNs) are economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable. In applying this theoretical framework to vignettes of global clothing recycling, e-waste recycling, and ship breaking and recycling, we use tools from the global value chain (GVC) literature and GRN writings to critically evaluate how such recycling networks may influence economic, social, and environmental aspects of sustainability in positive and negative directions. The conclusion highlights our main findings and draws out future research and policy implications of this analysis.",
