O Trabalho em Cooperativas de Reciclagem de Lixo: Aspectos Socioambientais Segundo a Ótica dos Cooperados

There are almost 8 billion people on the planet with every single one of them producing some type of waste. The cost of recycling and money made by selling recyclable products has created a strong foundation for informal waste picking to exist. Waste pickers sort through garbage to find recyclable material; it is estimated that there are around 20 million waste pickers worldwide. In 2022, I went to experience life as a waste picker in Brasilia, Brazil for a day to understand issues that may continue to exist in this informal industry. I worked in a triage center and used this experience to inform my autoethnography; even though I have worked in waste picker research for almost a decade, this experience led to a different conclusion. The most interesting issue that I found while working as a waste picker was the lack of uniformity in waste picking, which led to people working on the streets or in co-op triage centers. This population is vulnerable which is worsened from exposure to hazards by nature of the informal environment; this situation contributes to ongoing poor working conditions through lack of governmental oversight, policy development, and change. Ultimately, informality needs to be addressed.

Este estudo tem por objetivo<strong> </strong>avaliar programas de Educação Ambiental voltados para gestão de resíduos sólidos em duas escolas municipais de Pinhais/PR. Os programas tratam da Campanha “Acabe com o Desperdício” e do Projeto “Escola 100% Reciclável”, que até então não haviam sido submetidos a qualquer tipo de avaliação para identificação do alcance de suas metas. O estudo de caso foi desenvolvido nas Escolas Municipais Aroldo de Freitas e 31 de Março, junto aos alunos do 4º e 5º ano do ensino fundamental. O método quali-quantitativo foi utilizado para aplicação de questionários <em>survey</em> a fim de avaliar e investigar o conhecimento dos sujeitos da pesquisa a respeito dos programas citados. As respostas dos questionários foram agrupadas em categorias e assim puderam ser traduzidas em dados percentuais. Os resultados apontaram que as ações do Projeto “Escola 100% Reciclável” apresentaram melhores resultados em relação à Campanha “Acabe com o Desperdício”.
