"Global data shows: recycling correctly creates jobs and economic value"

The importance of recycling for the economy and job creation

The correct recycling of materials is a crucial factor for sustainable economic development and the creation of formal jobs in various sectors. Official reports indicate that proper waste management and the implementation of efficient recycling systems boost the use of resources and promote the circular economy, as provided for in the National Solid Waste Policy (Law No. 12.305/2010).

Global data on job creation in the recycling sector

International and national studies indicate that the recycling production chain is among the most employing in the environmental services sector. According to official information from the National Solid Waste Management Information System (SINIR), recycling generates thousands of jobs in the collection, sorting, processing and marketing of recyclable materials.

Economic impact of recycling on production chains

Recycling contributes to reducing costs in the extraction and production of raw materials, promoting environmental efficiency and economic competitiveness. Data from the São Paulo State Environmental Company (CETESB) shows that effective recycling policies increase the added value of reused materials, encouraging investment in technology and innovation in the sector.

Legislation and incentives for recycling in Brazil

Law No. 12.305/2010 establishes the National Solid Waste Policy, regulating the integrated management and environmentally appropriate management of solid waste aimed at reduction, reuse and recycling. Complying with these guidelines not only contributes to environmental sustainability, but also encourages formal job creation and local economic development.
