The recovery of post-consumer waste in cities in the developing world is driven by actors in the informal waste ecosystem.
However, municipalities, multi-national brands and waste management companies struggle to work effectively with these stakeholders, and they continue to remain outside the purview of formal waste-management systems in the Global South.
