This video introduces the CARE Project, an initiative working to formalise and empower the role of informal waste pickers in Colombia’s aluminium recycling system. Through research, training, and pilot projects, CARE aims to improve working conditions, strengthen traceability, and promote responsible recycling aligned with global standards.

The video explores the origins of the project, including the historical and social context of waste picking, and highlights the essential role of waste pickers in achieving circularity and climate goals. It also presents key findings on Colombia’s recycling landscape, the challenges of traceability, and ongoing activities to build a more inclusive and transparent recycling value chain.

Key themes:
• Inclusion and empowerment of waste pickers
• Responsible and traceable aluminium recycling
• Health, safety, and human rights training
• Collaboration among cooperatives, authorities, and industry
• Aligning with ASI Standards and global circularity goals
