In the post-apocalypse book Seeds for the Swarm, there's a group called the Wastrels who focus on "living with one's trash". Basically dedicating their lives to cleaning up the waste of the previous generations who caused the apocalypse, and not making any more. They either find ways to break it down or they reuse it.

I bring this up because each member finds a particular waste material that calls to them, and takes it as their name, i.e. Polypropylene. It was punk as hell.
