Waste as an Anthropological Issue
May 17 marks World Recycling Day, officially declared by UNESCO, with the aim of raising awareness of the importance of recycling as a tool for proper waste management and to mitigate climate change. For this reason, we decided to meet that day and present a series of research results that have been produced in the dialogue and experience of anthropologists in Brazil and the Netherlands, and also present the trajectory of the social movement of collectors in Brazil, through the speech of Aline Souza, President Director of Centcoopdf, the biggest reference in South America for the Work Cooperatives of Collectors of Recyclable Materials.

Sobre o evento
No próximo dia 17, a coordenadora do Residualab, Maria Raquel Passos Lima, junto a diversos pesquisadores e pesquisadoras brasileiros, participará do evento “Resíduo como objeto antropológico”, no CEDLA, da Universidade de Amsterdã.
O dia 17 também é conhecido pela UNESCO como o Dia Internacional da Reciclagem. Por isso, o CEDLA articulou um evento entre pesquisadores e pesquisadoras brasileiras e holandesas, a fim de buscar o aprofundamento das discussões sobre o tema nos dois países. Além de pesquisadores, também estarão presentes atores políticos importantes no processo de reciclagem brasileiro, como Aline Souza, presidente do Centcoop, a Central das Cooperativas de Trabalho de Catadores de Materiais Recicláveis do DF.
