Extended producer responsibility (EPR) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) are policy frameworks that hold accountable the manufacturers of goods that create post-consumer waste. National and state governments typically prescribe EPR through market mechanisms, performance standards, and disclosure requirements. CSR relies largely on voluntary programs that international bodies and corporations themselves establish to prevent or remediate socially and environmentally destructive behaviors. Responding to a paucity of research regarding adaptations of EPR to the global South, this thesis traces the origins and outcomes of the 2010 National Solid Waste Policy of Brazil (PNRS), which mandates EPR. I focus on a provision of the PNRS that prescribes CSR in fulfillment of EPR through partnerships between corporations and cooperatives of wastepickers: collectively-organized, self-employed individuals who separate, sort, and sell recyclable materials. Guiding this inquiry is a question regarding the implications of the interactions between the transnational sustainability frameworks of corporations and laborers. Through an analysis of the histories and realities of these interactions, I interrogate the dynamics that shape the structures of CSR programs and their evaluative tools under the PNRS, from the perspective of wastepickers. I assert that these CSR programs, while sources of technical and financial support for wastepickers, by design cannot actualize the concept of EPR because they fail to remunerate wastepickers as market actors. Furthermore, I demonstrate that by controlling the processes that assign and assess responsibility for waste management in Brazil, corporations have co-opted a sustainability discourse of labor that is intended to advance wastepickers’ own fight for fair pay, rights, and recognition. Key Words Waste management; municipal solid waste; sustainability; extended producer responsibility, Brazil, waste picker; corporate social responsibility, labor, evidence-based policy.

Cover photograph (2018) Jonathan Torgovnik, courtesy of WIEGO. Date: August 2020 © Department of Environment, Forestry and Fisheries Photo Credit: PETCO Foreword Covid-19 has affected many sectors of South Africa’s economy and negatively impacted the livelihoods of many people in the country. The waste sector has been hard hit during this tough period, with many in the waste management value chain, feeling the impact, including informal waste pickers. The post Covid-19 economic recovery demands that the waste sector rethink its approach to the protection of human health and the environment, and consider the urgent need to protect the livelihoods of those that are involved in the collection and selling of waste materials. The visible impacts of poor waste management have taken hold in the imagination of the public in recent years, with images of illegal dumping and marine litter appearing frequently in the media. However, there is a social element of waste management that is also grabbing the attention of the South African public, and rightly so for the role that they play in South Africa’s waste economy – the informal waste sector.

  • Estimating the Deep Decarbonization Benefits of the Electric Mobility Transition: a Review of Managed Charging Strategies and Second-Life Battery Uses
    Estimating the Deep Decarbonization Benefits of the Electric Mobility Transition: A Review of Managed Charging Strategies and Second-Life Battery Uses Matthew D. Dean1 and Kara M. Kockelman, Ph.D., P.E.2 1Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering, University of Texas at Austin, 1 University Station (Mail Code C1761), Austin, TX 78712; email: [email protected] 2Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering, University of Texas at Austin, 1 University Station (Mail Code C1761), Austin, TX 78712; email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Emissions-reduction pathways in transportation are often characterized as a “three-legged stool”, where vehicle efficiency, fuel carbon content, and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) contribute to lower emissions. The electric mobility (e-mobility) transition provides fast savings since plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) are nearly three times more energy efficient than internal combustion engines (ICEs) and most nations’ power grids are lowering their carbon intensity irrespective of any further climate policy. The transportation sector’s greenhouse gas (GHG) savings via electrification are subject to many variables – such as power plant feedstocks, vehicle charging locations and schedules, vehicle size and weight, driver behavior, and annual mileage, which are described in existing literature. Savings will also depend on emerging innovations, such as managed charging (MC) strategies and second-life battery use in energy storage systems (B2U- ESS). This paper’s review of MC strategies and B2U-ESS applications estimates additional GHG savings to be up to 33% if chargers are widely available for MC-enabled passenger cars, and up to 100% if B2U-ESS abates peaker plants over its second-use lifetime.

  • Governments Struggle with Zero Waste Planning, Policy
    GOVERNMENTS STRUGGLE WITH ZERO WASTE PLANNING, POLICY, AND IMPLEMENTATION The challenges faced by local to national governments that are planning for and implementing zero waste initiatives and the synchronicity necessary to achieve it. by BRIANNA BEYNART A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. Baltimore, Maryland December 2019 © 2019 Brianna Beynart All Rights Reserved Abstract With growing concern over the shortage of landfill space and the health hazards of waste incineration, governments are looking towards sustainable waste management processes for the health of their communities. Zero waste is the goal to direct 100 percent of waste from landfills and incinerators, which is ultimately the most sustainable waste management strategy. Many governments have been working towards zero waste but none have achieved 100 percent waste diversion. Using a comparative context, it is the goal of this research to determine what planning practices are shared across varying levels of governments and from diverse geographic locations to determine what obstacles are preventing them from achieving 100 percent waste diversion. This research builds on the discoveries of each preceding finding and topics of this research include zero waste planning, waste management and processing methods, best practices for zero waste management, public outreach, public resource requirements for a zero waste community, and the role of the producer in the waste management cycle. The first section compares the zero waste plans of three American cities to reveal common best practices. Success was shared through outreach and the availability of public resources. The cities ultimately struggled to separate and process the waste after it had been collected.

  • A 30-Day Roadmap to Zero Waste
    #MAKEITAHABIT A 30-DAY ROADMAP TO ZERO WASTE www.greatforest.com What is Zero Waste? In short, Zero Waste is a holistic way of thinking that views materials as resources within a circular, closed-loop system. As officially defined by the Zero Waste International Alliance (ZWIA), Zero Waste is “The conservation of all resources by means of responsible production, consumption, reuse, and recovery of products, packaging, and materials without burning and with no discharges to land, water, or air that threaten the environment or human health.” Instructions This 30-day roadmap was developed to provide simple, actionable ways for you to get started on your Zero Waste journey from home. While Great Forest works to help businesses nationwide reduce waste and increase sustainability, we firmly believe that good zero waste habits and climate action starts at home. Each action within the roadmap can be completed independently of the other actions, we recommend following the order laid out to help reinforce Zero Waste-inspired themes that build on each other. Each action comes with a short description, simple tip(s), and resources for you to get started right away. The Great Forest consultant team had a fun time creating this toolkit and hope you will enjoy following along with us. The key is to get creative and involve your family, friends, and neighbors whenever possible! #MAKEITAHABIT Take stock of your Zero Waste journey. Assess your at-home waste footprint. Determining the amount of waste you produce through your daily routine is the first step to fixing it. This is one of those things you can't "un-know" once you know.

    ZERO WASTE AND ECONOMIC RECOVERY THE JOB CREATION POTENTIAL OF ZERO WASTE SOLUTIONSThe Job Creation Potential of Zero Waste Solutions | 1 Figure 1: Waste Hierarchy with mean job generation figures per ten thousand tonnes of waste processed per year. The data show that waste management approaches that have the best environmental outcomes also generate the most jobs. RSIN, RC, RS* *The limited data available on the job creation potential of the strategies in the top tier of the hierarchy suggest that the magnitude of job growth potential Executive from this sector could be significant. Summary RPAIR 404 jobs Employment opportunities are important in any economy, and especially in times of economic downturn. As governments and the private sector invest in economic recovery strategies, particularly “green” or climate- neutral approaches, it is important to evaluate their employment potential. C40 estimates that the waste management sector has the potential to create 2.9 million jobs in its 97 member cities alone. RCYCL Zero waste—a comprehensive approach to waste management that RMANFACTR prioritizes waste prevention, re-use, composting, and recycling—is a widely-adopted strategy proven to minimize environmental impacts and 115 jobs 55 jobs contribute to a just society. In this study, we evaluate its job generation potential. The data for this study came from a wide range of sources spanning 16 countries. Despite the diversity in geographic and economic conditions, the results are clear: zero waste approaches create orders of magnitude more jobs than disposal-based systems that primarily burn or bury waste. Indeed, waste interventions can be ranked according to their job COMPOST generation potential, and this ranking exactly matches the traditional waste hierarchy based on environmental impacts (Figure 1).

  • Waste Pickers/Recyclers Waste Pickers Collect, Sort, Recycle, Repurpose And/ Or Sell Materials Thrown Away by Others
    Informal Economy IEMS Monitoring Study The Urban Informal Workforce: Waste Pickers/Recyclers Waste pickers collect, sort, recycle, repurpose and/ or sell materials thrown away by others. Their work reduces the amount of waste in municipal landfills, reclaims discarded material and reintroduces it into value chains. Waste pickers’ activities benefit the environment and public health. And in some cities, informal waste pickers are the only form of solid waste management — at little or no cost to the municipal budget. The Informal Economy Monitoring Belo Horizonte: D. Tomich Photo from Study (IEMS) examines the driving forces that shape waste pickers’ working conditions, their responses to these drivers, and the institutions that help or hinder their responses. Across five cities, 763 waste pickers (427 women and 336 men) took part in the research (see box below). Quantitative and qualitative data were collected in collaboration with their membership- based organizations in each city. The findings inform the recommendations on the last page of this report.
