Projeção internacional do movimento de catadores: um estudo de caso do Tratado Global dos Plásticos

Abstract

The article seeks to analyze the internationalization process of the waste pickers' movement and its participation in the negotiations of the Global Plastics Treaty. To this end, the analysis was carried out at two levels. The first consists of a case study, in which it was sought to understand the internationalization process of the Movimento Nacional de Catadores de Materiais Recicláveis (MNCR) and how this process culminated in the emergence of the International Alliance of Waste Pickers (IAWP). The second level, in turn, investigated the participation of the IAWP in the Treaty negotiations, through content analysis of the documents released by the Alliance throughout the INCs; from this analysis, a set of four central demands was identified, as well as the observation of the evolution of these demands throughout the negotiations.
