Responsible Sourcing Initiative: Uplifting informal waste workers to streamline recycling value chain
Non-profit organization, The Circulate Initiative, has launched the Responsible Sourcing Initiative with program funding from Minderoo Foundation and The Coca-Cola Company, recognizing the roles and contributions of the informal waste workers.
By convening and facilitating value chain actors to adopt harmonized responsible sourcing practices, the initiative has set targets to improve livelihoods for an estimated 50,000 informal waste workers. It plans to act on the commitment of over 25 global brands, investors, recyclers and aggregators by 2025.
