摘要

在中低收入国家,以合作社和协会形式组织起来的拾荒者面临着法律、运营和管理方面的挑战。本文提出了一种基于可持续发展指标评估拾荒者组织绩效的方法,并提出了相关措施,以改善正规回收和固体废物源头分类收集。该方法被用于评估巴西里约热内卢州一个由 12 个城市组成的地区中的 10 个组织。可持续性指数表明,这些组织的绩效较低,突出表现为缺乏投资,导致拾荒者月收入低,可回收废物回收率低,工作、健康和安全条件差。城市的规模以及市政府与拾荒者组织之间是否存在合同并不是取得良好绩效的决定性因素。此外,在研究地区,没有证据表明单个组织的良好表现会提高可回收废物的回收率。不过,有证据表明,良好的绩效会提高拾荒者的收入。为了提高绩效,我们提出了一套能够支持在巴西和其他国家成立拾荒者组织的措施,并通过参与式方法进行了验证。

Sustainability performance indicators: improving waste picker organizations in a Brazilian region

In low- and middle-income countries, waste pickers organized in cooperatives and associations face legal, operational, and management challenges. This article proposes a method to assess the performance of waste picker organizations based on sustainability indicators, as well as suggesting relevant measures to improve the formal recycling and solid waste source-separated collection. The method was applied to evaluate ten organizations in a region comprising 12 municipalities in the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The sustainability indices indicated low performance of the organizations, highlighting the lack of investment resulting in low monthly income for waste pickers, low recovery rates of recyclable waste, and poor working, health and safety conditions. The size of the municipality and existence of a contract between the municipal governments and waste picker organizations were not decisive factors for achieving favorable performance. Additionally, in the study region, there is no evidence that favorable performance of an individual organization leads to higher rate of recyclable waste recovery. However, there is evidence suggesting that it leads to higher income for waste pickers. To improve performance, a set of measures that can support formation of waste picker organizations in Brazil and other countries was proposed and validated through participatory means.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Material Cycles and Waste Management has a twofold focus: research in technical, political, and environmental problems of material cycles and waste management; and information that contributes to the development of an interdisciplinary science of material cycles and waste management. Its aim is to develop solutions and prescriptions for material cycles. The journal publishes original articles, reviews, and invited papers from a wide range of disciplines related to material cycles and waste management. The journal is published in cooperation with the Japan Society of Material Cycles and Waste Management (JSMCWM) and the Korea Society of Waste Management (KSWM).
