“…In Brazil, the SSE has been instrumental in the formation of solidarity networks of waste picker enterprises, a recent phenomenon in the literature and in the praxis of waste picker organizations (Mota, 2018). Tirado-Soto and Zamberlan (2013) consider that networks of waste pickers are a strategy that allows them to access credit lines and complementary resources, as well as to improve administrative practices (Boeira, Campos & Ferreira, 2007), adding value to the recyclable materials (Aquino, Castilho Jr. & Pires, 2009). Not all waste picker cooperatives comply with the high standards of solidarity principles, their leadership might not be democratically established or they might not follow the rules established by the members of the cooperative (e.g.…”

Waste governance is emerging as transdisciplinary and inter-sectoral approach to waste management and policy, overcoming primarily prescriptive engineering perspectives of waste. The process of governing waste involves the articulation of different structures, institutions, policies, practices and actors. Paying attention to issues of power, scale, and equity are important in the search for more democratic practices. Innovative forms of governance are emerging as decentralized, participatory and inclusive, focused on waste reduction and resource recovery. Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) is an innovative alternative in generating work and income and a response in favor of social and labor inclusion. It can also be considered as a new, more humane and inclusive development model. With this article we aim to provide practical knowledge on the contributions of grassroots organizations and networks in waste management, supporting the discussion of waste governance in the context of the SSE. We present different experiences of waste picker organizations in the metropolitan region of São Paulo, Brazil to showcase their assets and to discuss prevailing challenges. Employing the SSE as a new development model allows us to address everyday issues of waste generation, management and governance in Brazilian cities and in other parts of the world; particularly from the perspective of organized waste pickers in associations, cooperatives and networks. This is a development paradigm which goes beyond just economic considerations, as highlighted with examples from waste management.

“…Tal articulação pode facilitar o acesso a recursos complementares, agregando valor ao material, ou melhor posicionando os catadores na cadeia de reciclagem. Possibilita, também, o acesso a crédito, proporciona melhor produtividade e ajuda na administração dos recursos das organizações de catadores (BOEIRA;CAMPOS;FERREIRA, 2007;AVINA, 2008;TIRADO-SOTO;ZAMBERLAN, 2013).…”

“…Tirado-Soto (2011) observa ainda que a viabilidade econômica das redes pode variar de acordo com a quantidade e o grau de eficiência dos empreendimentos envolvidos, uma vez que para a consolidação de uma rede forte pressupõe-se que sua composição deve conter membros bem estruturados. Cooperativas e associações com problemas de gestão podem influenciar negativamente na consolidação das redes solidárias (BOEIRA;CAMPOS;FERREIRA, 2007); sendo assim, para que cooperativas e associações sejam bem estruturadas é preciso que haja formação dos indivíduos que as compõem (FRANÇA FILHO;CUNHA, 2009), mostrando a complexidade da consolidação de uma rede solidária.…”

Organizations of recyclable waste pickers play an essential role in solid waste management. Their noticeable evolution in terms of organization and participation in public policy has not been sufficient when facing the challenges imposed by the recycling services market. In that sense, individual waste-picking enterprises have sought to articulate into cooperation networks with the goals of increasing their strength and survival capability. The present research work aimed, therefore, to analyze the tendency to sustainability of waste picker cooperation networks considering the dynamics of cooperation adopted by them. To that objective, research of a descriptive character was adopted, based on multiple case studies composed by networks coded 1, 2, and 3, all within the state of São Paulo, participants of the Cataforte III project and counting on different sizes, ages and management practices. Based on documentary analysis, semi-structured interviews and application of the Sustainability Index (BESEN et al., 2017), this work sought to understand and to identify the main characteristics of cooperation networks, to adapt the Sustainability Index to the reality of the networks, and to relate the result of its application to the presence or absence of cooperation dynamics in the aforementioned cases. From the case analyses it was possible to find relations between cooperation dynamics and the tendency to sustainability. In general, Index application results coincided with adopting practices that lead to cooperation categories. In particular, voluntary participation stands out, having shown to be essential in consolidating waste picker networks, allowing for a better performance in sustainability-related indicators. Although the literature points out the benefits brought by joint commercialization as the main positive effect of network articulation, this research has indicated that the advantages go beyond commercial issues. Exchange of knowledge, development of social capital and legal and administrative infrastructure provided by the network reflect positively in its members, rendering joint commercialization another possibility of strengthening enterprises on the recycling services market when facing the array of options provided by cooperation networks.

Este trabalho é um estudo etnográfico acerca da qualidade de vida (QV) no campo social, com os catadores de materiais recicláveis da ACMR – Associação de Coletores de Materiais Recicláveis, em Florianópolis. Esta população tem sido foco de estudos e adquirido importância para a sociedade, uma vez que cumpre o trabalho de coleta e venda de materiais recicláveis, realiza parte da limpeza da cidade, além de contribuír com a preservação ambiental. Deste modo, buscou-se compreender a manifestação das categorias da qualidade de vida dos catadores de materiais recicláveis da ACMR, formulando ao final da pesquisa novas definições acerca de qualidade de vida, a partir da visão destes catadores. Para os catadores, a QV pode ser vista como toda e qualquer possibilidade de melhorar as condições em que se encontram no momento atual.
