I wish to thank my mom in particular for all her support and knowledge about recycling that has encouraged me to
develop an interest in Ethics and Sustainability, both now sharing a strong interest in future developments. Also a
massive thank you to all my family for their support and help with contacting experts within the Ethics and Sustainability industry.
I also with to thank all lecturers at Birmingham City University for their guidance, in particular my personal tutor
Adele Thorley for all encouragement and support throughout my dissertation.
This work would not be possible without the help and support of Katie Bruton, Senior Sustainability Officer at the
Worcester County Council, and Education & Communication Officer Kate Stott, from Severn Waste Worcester
for their expert knowledge, connections, guided tours of their facilities and interviews.
