The waste crisis is a global reality, meanwhile societies face rising global social emergencies. Mobilisation by informal recyclers brings together struggles for social, economic and environmental justice. Through the Reclaiming Waste conference, informal recyclers, social scientists, activists, and residents will foster conversation on topics including how informal recyclers organise and forge alliances with residents, artists and academics; what informal recycling reveals about tensions between the economy and ecology; and what it means to decolonise recycling.
