Synopsis
"As Recicláveis" addresses solid waste management in Brazil from both human and institutional perspectives. The film highlights the daily routines and challenges faced by waste pickers working in cooperatives, whose work is, in the vast majority of cases, rendered invisible and undervalued. By portraying their struggle for dignity, income, and social inclusion, the documentary calls on public officials to formally contract these associations in order to transform waste collection in cities.
