Progress and challenges for inclusive recycling
An assessment of 12 Latin American and Caribbean cities
The study
Progress and Challenges for Inclusive Recycling: An Assessment of 12 Latin American
and Caribbean Cities
evaluates the institutional and operational context for inclusive recycling in
twelve (12) Latin American and Caribbean cities through a set of qualitative and quantitative indi-
cators. The purpose of the study is to assess the current situation of inclusion and formal organisa-
tion of grassroots recyclers as part of the integrated sustainable waste management chain. This
study does not intend to evaluate the status of the recycling chain as a whole. We recommend
using this report together with other studies designed to identify and classify waste management
systems and recycling markets. The majority of the research carried out for this report, including in-
terviews and documentary analysis, was carried out between August and November of 2016. The
report goes hand in hand with an interactive Excel benchmarking tool that contains the assess-
ments of the 12 cities and scores for all indicators.
The Multilateral Investment Fund (MIF), a member of the Inter-American Development Bank Group
(IDB), provided fnancial support for this work as part of the Regional Initiative for Inclusive Recy-
cling (IRR).
