By on January 01, 2012

Climate Change, Sustainability and BusinessThis chapter illuminates the crucial and often unrecognized role that developing world informal recyclers play in reducing the risks associated with climate change.

 

“Project Pennsylvania,” a pilot program launched by four multinational corporations and a nongovernmental organization in Bogotá, Colombia, serves as an illustrative example that highlights how innovative recycling partnerships can contribute to efficient solid waste management systems in low-income countries as well as provide environmental, economic, and social risk reduction and value creation.
