Recycling and social technologies for sustainability: The Brazilian experience of wastepickers’ inclusion in selective collection programs

Abstract

The contradiction between efficiency and solidarity, which excludes workers from the formal labor market, finds in the associations a solution for people with different capacities. This social technology offers much more than simple survival or exoticism. The wastepickers create a sustainable mode of production, putting together economic, social and environmental criteria in an innovative and fair production technology.

The psychological concept of social sustainability in the workplace from the perspective of sustainable goals: A systematic review

“…As Jitmaneeroj ( 2016 ) stated, the relationship between different pillars or dimensions of sustainability moderates the activities of organizations (the industry), and “each pillar has unequal effects on the overall corporate sustainability and that the overall score is affected by not only the direct effects from pillar scores but also the indirect effects from the causal interrelations among pillars.” (p. 1,497). Other identified articles also point to the contradiction between effectiveness and solidarity (Lima and de Oliveira, 2017 ), the balance between an organization's socioeconomic mission and exclusively economic goals (Gamble et al, 2020 ), and the balance between the principles of New Managerialism and Confucian ethics among teachers (Huang, 2018 ).…”

Cooperação e solidariedade em empreendimentos de economia solidária

“…As cooperadas têm um agudo senso de equivalência entre esforço e ganho, considerando injusto que alguns obtenham vantagens com o trabalho do outro. Isso não significa estipular um padrão uniforme de desempenho, uma vez que pessoas com capacidade reduzida fazem tarefas mais leves (Lima & Oliveira, 2017;Oliveira, 2010). Elas tentam avaliar, com esses julgamentos, se cada pessoa está se esforçando ao máximo dentro de regras e valores que definem o ofício de catador e considerando condições individuais.…”
