“The wastepickers cooperative changed a lot with the Novo Ciclo project. Actually, I get a huge feeling of satisfaction when I go to the cooperatives and talk about the program: I feel very gratified to see all the positive changes that we can make. At first, the pickers network was a bit lost, but now they are making progress step by step, and their sales are starting to increase. We, organizers, are going to each cooperative and always find room for improvment in areas like production or management… That’s rewarding. I’m very happy.”
