Before a recyclable material reaches a recycling facility, someone has to find it.
A t-shirt,shirt,jeans, and appareal thrown away in a street bin does not automatically find its way into a recycling facility.
Someone has to collect it.
Someone has to sort it.
Someone has to gather enough materials to make transportation and processing possible.
This is where informal waste collectors play an important role in India recycling value chain.
They help move recyclable materials from places where they have been discarded into a system where they can potentially be recovered and reused.
Their work is a reminder that recycling is not just about what happens inside a recycling plant.
It begins much earlier.
Sometimes, it begins with someone seeing value in a material that everyone else has already discarded.
This is why the recycling value chain is made up of many different roles-and every role matters.
Every Waste Has Worth.
When you think about recycling, which part of the process
do you think people understand the least?
