How can organisations in developing countries support waste pickers for increased recycling in low-income communities? A South African product responsibility organisation uses subsidies and administrative support in a business model approach

Submitted by Petra Hansson on

Key Points 

  • Recycling can be promoted in low-income communities through a business model framework 
  • Business models for recycling efforts in low-income communities need financial and administrative support for sustainability in the short to medium term. 
  • There is no one-size-fits-all approach to such a business model framework. The model must be adapted to fit the community’s needs
