Special Edition: Waste Picker Brand Audits

Waste pickers are material experts, knowledgeable about which materials can be resold and recycled. As corporations aggressively market single-use plastic packaging around the globe, the livelihoods of waste pickers are negatively impacted by increasing amounts of no-value, non-recyclable plastic packaging. Meet waste pickers around the world as they participate in this year’s Global Brand Audit and identify problematic materials and top corporate polluters.

Join us as we stand with waste pickers and demand real corporate accountability and real solutions!
