Empowering Waste Pickers and Improving Working Conditions
Danone is a leading multinational food and beverage company. As part of its goal to accelerate the transition to a circular economy, Danone supports informal waste pickers who are crucial to waste management and recycling systems in many emerging economies. This case study focuses on Danone’s work with waste pickers in Argentina, where its subsidiary, Aguas Danone de Argentina (ADA), launched the Recuperadores project to improve waste pickers’ working conditions and empower them, while strengthening local recycling systems.
