Ep 4: How and why do informal waste workers matter?

  • サマリー

  • We rely on 20 million waste workers worldwide who pick and sort 50-100% of our waste across cities every day. Yet, these informal waste workers are often overlooked or working in unsafe conditions. Join us as we explore why and how the informal sector matters, and what more can be done to ensure their livelihoods, while improving our waste management systems.

    For episode 4, Changing Tides with The Incubation Network speaks to Nalini Shekar, co-founder and executive director of Hasiru Dala, a social impact organization that works with informal waste workers across more than 27,000 families in Karnataka and Andrah Pradesh, India.

    “You have to look at the community as your partners to co-create strategies. We both learn from each other. I have learned to be stronger, looking at these women going out on the street and being on their own at 4:30am I get energy and fearlessness from them.” — Nalini Shekar

    On this episode we discuss:

    • Why is the informal sector so important?
    • What happened to our waste during the pandemic?
    • What kind of challenges do informal waste workers, especially women, face?
