How sustainable is recycling?. Reconciling the social, ecological, and economic dimensions in Argentina

Mehr zum Buch

Argentina faces an increase in informal workers, particularly urban recyclers, exacerbated by the economic crisis and Covid-19. While recycling is beneficial, working conditions often fall short of decent work standards. Research identifies key areas for improvement: recognizing recyclers' service value, fostering grassroots innovations, and navigating political economies for sustainable solutions.
