Planetary healing and care through popular education
Increasing global waste generation is both a visible manifestation and a systemic indicator of the contemporary ecological crisis and climate change. In this context, waste pickers are critical, yet often overlooked, in environmental governance. By recovering recyclable materials and reducing reliance on landfills, they advance circular economy practices, conserve natural resources, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Despite these contributions…

O exercício de foto voz realizado por alunos de pós-graduação da USP explorou a onipresença do plástico em uma comunidade periférica do município de São Paulo. O exercício foi realizado no contexto de uma disciplina de pós graduação onde os estudantes visitaram o bairro Jardim Keralux, local marcado por contaminação do solo e grande vulnerabilidade socioambiental. Utilizou-se a técnica de foto voz e a caminhada transversal, como abordagem metodol…
Reimagining urban waste management
Governments worldwide are seeking better solutions for solid waste management. Thermal treatment projects are presented as quick fixes for rising waste challenges, without addressing the limitations of incineration. Currently, there is a rise in proposals for thermal treatment technologies in developing countries. Scrutiny of the risks and impacts of these alternatives is necessary due to social, climate, and resource considerations. Energy from …

Social movements in the context of crisis
Social movements are purposeful, organized groups of people addressing the creation and reproduction of inequality, rights and access issues, seeking to transform sectoral policies. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, social movements have been acting in articulation with government and private companies and through other actions formulated within their networks, as service deliverers to the poor and vulnerable populations most heavily affec…
Closing the waste gap
Grassroots innovations in ‘extreme’ urban environments. The inclusive recycling movement
Waste pickers all over the world work innovatively to reduce the environmental footprint of cities as they struggle to meet their critical livelihood obligations. Informed by the case of waste picker organizations (WPOs) this article examines how grassroots initiatives and extreme-niche innovations are created and sustained by mobilizing resources, rationales and relations. The study is informed by a cross-national survey and in-depth interviews …
Recent challenges and new possibilities with urban agriculture in Victoria, British Columbia
Increasing urbanization generates new challenges for cities, including housing shortages, environmental degradation, public health concerns, and food security issues, just to mention a few. High levels of food insecurity can motivate planners to increase their support for community gardening forms of urban agriculture. The COVID‐19 pandemic has amplified many pressures of urban living. In this paper, we focus on challenges around urban agricultur…
The power of community-based participatory research
In this article we explore ethical and effective standards of Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) as a practice that differentiates itself from conventional research. We emphasize the fundamental and active role of community in participatory processes by legitimizing multiple forms of knowledge through a variety of methods that together provide discovery and dissemination of the findings. The goal of CBPR is to directly or indirectly ac…

Impacts of Covid-19 on organized waste pickers in selected municipalities in the State of São Paulo
This study, carried out with waste picker organizations in 32 municipalities in the State of São Paulo, seeks to analyze the impacts of the pandemic (Covid-19) on their activities, including measures taken by the government and other actors, in order to alleviate the impacts resulting from the crisis. Our theoretical framework discusses the relationships between social movements and public policies. Organized waste pickers provide selective colle…
Waste Pickers and Their Practices of Insurgency and Environmental Stewardship
Informed by different grassroots learning and educational practices engaged in waste management, and drawing from the concepts of insurgent citizenship and environmental stewardship, we examine the role of waste picker organizations and movements in creating new pathways towards more sustainable environmental waste governance. Two case studies (Argentina and Brazil) demonstrate how waste pickers inform and educate the general public and raise the…
Pesquisa participativa reconectando diversidade
Há uma hegemonia na produção de conhecimento associada à concentração de poder e exclusão cognitiva, cerceando o diálogo com saberes marginalizados que podem ser fundamentais para a sustentabilidade na necessária reconexão local-global. Para romper com esse contexto consideramos que ecologia de saberes, reflexão, e auto-organização podem ser promovidas por meio de pesquisas participativas, em que analisamos três distintas experiências para identi…
Evaluating scenarios toward zero plastic pollution
A mess of plastic It is not clear what strategies will be most effective in mitigating harm from the global problem of plastic pollution. Borrelle et al. and Lau et al. discuss possible solutions and their impacts. Both groups found that substantial reductions in plastic-waste generation can be made in the coming decades with immediate, concerted, and vigorous action, but even in the best case scenario, huge quantities of plastic will still accum…
Experiencing the Everyday of Waste Pickers
Waste pickers make a livelihood by collecting recyclable waste contributing to urban development and poverty reduction. Most often, they are socially excluded and exposed to different vulnerabilities (e.g. occupational health risks and accidents). This study adopts the sustainable livelihoods framework to assess multifaceted aspects of everyday life and work experiences of waste pickers in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The framework takes an integrated and …

Transforming Cities Globally
Waste Pickers at the Heart of the Circular Economy
While the circular economy (CE) is discussed in the global North as an innovative approach to waste management, the idea of circular resource flows has long been central in the work of waste pickers all over the world. They work independently or in groups, collecting, classifying, and reinserting a wide range of discarded materials into the economy. These grassroots initiatives have accumulated valuable knowledge and offer innovative perspectives…

Socio-environmental entrepreneurship and the provision of critical services in informal settlements
This paper contributes to the understanding of processes by which small-scale entrepreneurs who provide household waste collection in informal settlements succeed in formalized co-production of such services. The paper draws on the social and solidarity economy and social and environmental entrepreneurship theoretical frameworks, which offer complementary understandings of diverse strategies to tackle everyday challenges. Two questions are addres…
More inclusive and cleaner cities with waste management co-production
Participatory Research Revealing the Work and Occupational Health Hazards of Cooperative Recyclers in Brazil
Although informal waste collectors are sometimes organized in cooperatives, their working conditions remain extremely precarious and unsafe. The paper discusses the findings of action oriented, participatory qualitative research with several recycling groups in the metropolitan region of São Paulo, Brazil. During workshops with the recyclers mapping, acting, and drawing methods helped reveal health hazards from collection, separation and transpor…
Cooperative recycling in S ão P aulo, B razil
This study, set in the context of a group of recycling cooperatives in the greater metropolitan region of S ão P aulo, B razil, is about the relationship between emotional geographies and notions of empowerment. Paying attention to the ways that emotional expressions of empowerment deconstruct and subvert oppressive relations of power, while simultaneously reproducing and obscuring these same oppressive hegemons, we ask: what emotions are collect…
Middle class alliances to end poverty
Informal and Cooperative Recycling as a Poverty Eradication Strategy
Selective garbage collection and separation involves many of the urban poor. For them solid waste means resources and recycling becomes a survival strategy. In Brazil, almost a million recyclers perform the service of collecting, separating and commercializing recyclable material. Their work is considered mostly informal and is subject to health risks, accidents and exploitation. Some recyclers are organized in cooperatives, associations or socia…

Reclaiming and Recirculating Urban Natures
Although developing world cities are increasingly the focus of urban political ecology perspectives, waste remains an underexplored aspect. This paper helps to fill this thematic gap by using urban political ecology as a lens for analyzing flows of food waste in the Brazilian city of Diadema. The marginal urban poor in Diadema, as in most other cities in Brazil, lack access to affordable fresh fruit and vegetables yet must cope with a disproporti…
Solidarity economy and recycling co-ops in São Paulo
Lack of working capital hinders collective commercialisation of recyclables. Social exclusion and bureaucratic constraints prevent recyclers from obtaining official bank loans. As they continue to depend on intermediaries, the cycle of poverty, dependency, and exclusion is perpetuated. The article discusses collective commercialisation and the micro-credit fund created among 30 recycling groups in the Brazilian city of São Paulo. A committee of e…

Rural Development and Social Exclusion
Rural modernisation based on the concept of the Green Revolution has changed the social and ecological landscape in Brazil, particularly since the late 1960s. The expansion of extensive cattle ranching and mechanised agriculture have been major driving forces in this transformation process. In the Midwest, one of the last frontier regions in Brazil, extensive savanna land has recently been cleared for cash-crop production and pastureland. After t…
