“…Several empirical studies attempted to investigate the effects of the introduction of the PNRS on the realities of waste pickers, providing conflicting results [41,42]. Some studies squarely concentrated on the implementation of the parts of the PNRS that concern the integration of waste pickers' organisations into the urban-waste-management chain, primarily through processes of formalisation and contracting carried out by local authorities.…”

The literature on dirty workers analysed material and symbolic aspects of work, highlighting how dirty workers deal with the stigma associated with their occupations. This approach put less attention on dirty workers who operate in the informal economy, which is a relevant category especially in some sectors, such as the urban-waste management and recycling. Drawing on a 2019–2022 qualitative study of waste pickers (WPs) in the Rio Grande do Sul state (Brazil), this article aims to understand whether and how the informal conditions interact with the symbolic and material aspects of the dirty job. First, it shows various attempts to redefine the meanings of waste pickers’ work, in a positive sense. The more articulated attempts mainly concern the more structured WPs organisations and, in some cases, go far beyond the strategies described by the traditional literature on dirty workers. Second, it emphasizes the importance of the relations between WPs organisations and public administrations in defining the effectiveness of the actions aimed at reducing the stigma associated with the WPs’ work. Together, these contributions highlight the utility of exploring the dynamics and the differences of informal dirty work in order to enrich the dirty-work approach.

“…Portanto, embora existam esforços para auxiliar o trabalho das organizações de catadores, em geral, elas não são contratadas pelos setores público ou privado, sendo firmadas parcerias, insuficientes para compensar o trabalho realizado pelos catadores (Sakamoto et al, 2021).…”

“…Diversos estudos sobre o Brasil (Gutberlet;Uddin, 2017;Sousa Dutra;Yamane;Siman, 2018;Calderon Marquez et al, 2021;Sakamoto et al, 2021;Coletto;Carbonai, 2023) concordam sobre a importância da participação dos catadores na cadeia de reciclagem, especialmente, no aproveitamento de resíduos que seriam desviados para disposição final, por exemplo. No entanto, há carência de incentivos para sua organização e inserção no mercado formal, enfrentando baixa remuneração, dificuldades de formalização e gestão de suas organizações, seja por questão financeira seja pela infraestrutura, quando comparados a outros atores do mercado, como atravessadores e empresas comercializadoras (Guarnieri, Cerqueira-Streit;Batista, 2020).…”

Uma das alternativas de gestão de Resíduos Sólidos (RS) é a Coleta Seletiva (CS), ainda incipiente no Brasil, com percentual de 32% em 2021. Nesse escopo, este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar como tem sido realizada a CS no contexto de alguns municípios do Pará. Para tanto, foram seguidas duas etapas: 1) coleta e análise da opinião dos participantes da Pesquisa; e 2) coleta e análise de dados do Sistema Nacional de Informações sobre Saneamento – Resíduos Sólidos 2021 (SNIS-RS 2021). Inicialmente foram identificados os órgãos municipais responsáveis pela gestão de RS nos municípios e enviado por e-mail roteiro com questões abertas relacionadas à temática, analisando as respostas com base nos instrumentos da Política Nacional de RS (CS e inclusão de catadores, planos de RS e educação ambiental); e na etapa 2 foram coletados informações e indicadores do SNIS-RS 2021, cuja análise se baseou na comparação entre os dados coletados no Sistema e as respostas dos participantes. A expansão da CS nos cinco municípios analisados tem sido lenta e realizada de forma significativa por catadores autônomos que atuam nos lixões, porém, os municípios têm buscado integrá-la a ações de educação ambiental nas escolas e estratégias de inclusão socioprodutiva dos catadores.

“…A new organization of the waste management service can sensibly impact both the environment and its socio-economic dimension [13], benefitting local development and leading to the creation of new economies. The related incomes for the collectivity could increase along with the practice of waste sorting.…”

The Circularity of MSW in Urban Landscapes: An Evaluation Method for a Sustainable System Implementation

The debate on the sustainable perspective of a circular economy and MSW (Municipal Solid Waste) management is no longer focused on the resolution of an emergency and on the pure technicality of creating efficient services. New light has been shed on the operational phase, as often unresolvable technical-environmental issues during service management lead to a state of decay, affecting urban vulnerability and users’ involvement. The research aims to develop an auxiliary tool for public administrations in planning a zero-waste future whilst enhancing the urban landscape. This study considers the perspective of virtuous management of the resource flow cycle along with evaluating implementable theoretic models, operational scenarios, and technological tools that can be integrated into a specific built environment. The first phase consisted in the definition of the involved subjects and the evaluation criteria for the impact of the service management system. The second phase includes the definition of operational strategies for virtuous and sustainable management of resource flows, intended as opportunities for the regeneration and development of the local context. The result of this research work is the elaboration and experimentation of an information system for the evaluation of the integrability of operational scenarios with the systemic, quantitative, and qualitative elements that characterize an urban landscape. The selected actions and technologies have been assessed in terms of short-term feasibility, cost-effectiveness, and local efficacy. This research work shows that many urban contexts with efficient services have been conceived as ecosystems, integrated into the landscape, driven by the synergy of institutions and operators, capable of carrying out the entire cycle from waste production to the marketing of recycled products. Our analysis shows that this issue can be effectively tackled through varied and mixed solutions; by integrating strategies, techniques, and scenarios, and by stimulating citizens’ involvement.
