Global Waste Management and the Informal Sector
What’s covered
What role does the informal waste sector play in advancing global circularity? How can businesses and policymakers support more equitable and scalable solutions that empower waste workers while reducing plastic pollution?
The informal waste sector is a critical yet often overlooked player in global waste management systems, especially in regions lacking formal infrastructure. In this session, experts will explore the intersection of innovation, impact, and inclusivity in building circular systems that work for both people and the planet. From technology-driven traceability to ethical plastic recovery models, this conversation will unpack scalable strategies to uplift the informal sector, drive accountability, and accelerate global progress toward circularity.
