WHO ARE WASTE-PICKERS ?
Waste-pickers are people who make a living by collecting waste in a informal way. They represent 1% of the urban world population, and contribute in developed countries as in the Global South :
​
-
To increase our recycling rate
​​
-
To save our primary resources;
​​
-
To fight against waste pollution;
​​
And all this at very low cost for public authorities.
​
They are unavoidable actors of circular economy and their profession needs to be recognized at fair
value.

THE PROJECT
The Gold Diggers Project, the project that gives visibility to those who turn our trash into gold. Across 12 countries, I will meet waste-pickers' organizations which could get better work and life conditions, and local actors who carry out inspiring projects to help the cooperation or the inclusion of the informal sector in the solid waste management schemes.
