Description

Environmental awareness and social mobilization are growing issues across Latin America. This book by Routledge examines how co-operative recycling practices serve as a dual strategy to address the waste crisis and reduce urban poverty. It explores how selective waste collection and the sorting of materials from the garbage stream have become essential survival strategies for economically excluded populations. Readers will learn about the realities faced by those who depend on these resources. While thousands of people rely exclusively on accessing recycled materials for their livelihoods, they often face severe and chronic occupational health problems and risks. This text provides a deep look into the connection between waste management, social survival, and the economic challenges of urban life in the region.
