VICE Meets

This week on the VICE Podcast, Wilbert L. Cooper sits down with Adam Minter, an expert in the global economy of scrap and author of Junkyard Planet. Adam's unique perspective as an American who was raised on a family scrap yard offers uncanny insight into the world of scrap metal and how it impacts our lives from the devices we use to the air we breathe. Today he chats with us about the environmental, economic, and ethical issues surrounding the $500 billion international scrap industry.
