This report highlights the need for corporations in the recycling sector to adopt responsible sourcing practices, particularly in relation to informal waste workers. By engaging with these workers, companies can address pressing issues, protect human rights, and meet global supply chain standards. Responsible sourcing requires collaboration among stakeholders, placing human rights at the center of business operations. By doing so, companies can enhance their reputation, gain public trust, and drive sustainable changes that benefit both their bottom line and the livelihoods of informal waste workers.
