The sheer volume of areas of knowledge involved in this highly interdisciplinaryfield has been somehow blurred as the labels “Waste Studies” and “Waste Theory” gainedtraction. Nevertheless, upon closer inspection those terms crumble easily. What is “WasteTheory”? What attempts, if any, have been made to agglutinate these disparage fields andtheir corresponding contributions into a cohesive discipline of its own? This paper aims toshed light on these questions by reviewing some of the most referenced works and authorswithin the burgeoning waste scholarship. Likewise, it seeks to critically examine whetherit would be possible–and productive–to elaborate a general theory of waste. PB Servicio de Publicaciones.
