THE RECYCLING VALUE CHAIN

The value chain for recycling beverage cartons has several players and moving parts. At the center of this value chain are the waste pickers: the informal sector that works in landfills, ensuring that the waste is segregated and are the true heroes of the recycling system in the country. Through AARC, we aim to ensure that the efforts of the waste pickers are valued through pecuniary compensation, health camps, and educational sessions.

We ensure that the informal sector - waste pickers and their families - receive free health checkups and are given basic medicines to ensure that their health is not compromised in the arduous work that they do for the recycling effort.
