Waste Pickers

Meet waste pickers around the world as they conduct a global brand audit and identify problematic materials and top corporate polluters.

Waste pickers are material experts, knowledgeable about which materials can be resold and recycled. As corporations aggressively market single-use plastic packaging around the globe, the livelihoods of waste pickers are negatively impacted by increasing amounts of no-value, non-recyclable plastic packaging. Meet waste pickers around the world as they participate in the Break Free From Plastic Global Brand Audit and identify problematic materials and top corporate polluters.
