Informal female workers key to waste management

Speaking at the workshop, Caitlin Wiesen, UNDP Resident Representative in Việt Nam, said: “Recognising, collaborating, supporting, and ultimately enhancing the roles and contributions of informal waste workers is key to strengthening local waste management systems."

"Combined with awareness campaigns and effective co妹妹unity mobilisation, they are an essential part of the transition towards green and inclusive cities. To set a transition to a Just Circular Economy model in motion, UNDP will continue our work towards empowering women and generating a green, inclusive economic rebound.

“Waste and plastic are, in fact, economic resources. We need to segregate, collect, and recycle our waste to fast-track the development of markets for secondary materials that are localised and inclusive of women workers at all stages."

Ngô Hoàng Nam, an official from Quy Nhơn City’s People’s Co妹妹ittee, said: “It is an important workshop for us. We hope to receive many valuable ideas in waste management for practical applications and sound, creative suggestions for Quy Nhơn City to implement the Law on Environmental Protection.”

According to Fanny Quertamp, Senior Advisor Việt Nam for the Rethinking Plastics project, the mandatory EPR scheme for packaging, which will be in force in  二0 二 四, is a significant step in generating opportunities and challenges for the waste collectors. The traceability of the packaging value chain that will be required will impact the current waste management organisation and is an opportunity to integrate and recognise the collectors as contributors to the circular economy.

“I am very happy to join this workshop. I find this job helps me feed my family and contributes to keeping the environment clean. I look forward to participating in more workshops and activities. I will continue this useful work,” said Lê Thị Phú, an informal waste worker from Dĩ An town in the southern Bình Dương Province.

At the workshop, mechanisms were collectively discussed to enhance the systematic collection of grassroots initiatives, strengthen their uptake at the policy level, and collaborate with other organisations to improve the livelihoods of waste workers and recognise their critical roles in the transition toward a circular economy in Việt Nam.

On March  二,  二0 二 二, at the UN Environment Assembly, the world's ministers of the environment endorsed critical resolutions that established a foundation for introducing an international legally binding agreement to end plastic pollution. The roles of informal waste workers have been recognised in an environmental resolution.  — VNS
