家庭或家庭回收在实现欧盟总体回收率目标方面发挥着至关重要的作用。然而，研究人员尚未就国内回收商的特点以及回收实际上是如何在家里进行的达成一致。在这篇文章中，回收是在家政劳动的背景下进行调查的，试图理解它如何适应或超越传统的分工。这为回收辩论带来了一个重要的新视角，同时更新了国内的劳动分工文献，将绿色活动包括在内。有人认为，回收与花在家务上的时间减少的普遍趋势相矛盾，但与家务劳动一样，回收是由妇女单独或与伴侣一起发起和维持的。从这个意义上说，回收利用遵循着类似于更成熟的家务活的模式。
Domestic or household recycling has a crucial role to play in meeting EU targets for overall recycling rates. However, researchers have yet to agree on the characteristics of the domestic recycler and how recycling is actually carried out in the home. In this article, recycling is investigated within the context of domestic labour in an attempt to understand how it fits in with or overrides traditional divisions. This brings an important new perspective to the recycling debate and at the same time updates the domestic division of labour literature to include green activities. It is suggested that recycling contradicts prevailing trends towards decreasing time spent on household chores, but that, like domestic labour, it is initiated and largely sustained by women alone or together with a partner. In this sense, recycling follows a similar pattern to more established household chores.
