Los recicladores de Bello una mirada a su impacto en la sostenibilidad
Corporación Minuto de Dios
La presente monografía titulada “Los recicladores de Bello: una mirada a su impacto en la sostenibilidad” utiliza un enfoque mixto, para realizar un análisis del impacto de los recicladores que son adultos mayores, en la sostenibilidad de la ciudad de Bello, Antioquia. A través de este estudio se buscan datos cualitativos y cuantitativos para evidenciar el importante papel que juegan estos recicladores en la gestión de residuos sólidos y la promoción de la economía circular. Se hace especial énfasis en las mujeres adultas mayores que conforman la “Corporación Luz y Vida: Actitud Positiva”, quienes, frente a las condiciones laborales precarias y falta de reconocimiento, han demostrado ser actores clave en el cuidado del medio ambiente y la sostenibilidad urbana. La investigación combina entrevistas semiestructuradas, observación no participante, grupos focales y análisis de datos cuantitativos para evaluar el trabajo diario de los recicladores y el volumen de residuos y el valor de cada residuo gestionado. Este trabajo también pretende destruir los estigmas sobre la vejez y sugerir cambios en las políticas públicas para un reconocimiento real del aporte de las personas mayores en el contexto de la sostenibilidad.
Under the title "Los Recicladores de Bello: A Look at their Impact on Sustainability “, this undergraduate thesis will evaluate the work performed by the senior waste pickers of Bello, Antioquia and their contribution to sustainable development. The study will use a qualitative approach to expose the importance of their work in the proper management of solid waste, their role in the circular economy and how it improves the quality of life in the region. Most of these recyclers belong to a group called Corporación Luz y Vida: Actitud Positiva, and basically they are in trouble not only because they have not received social recognition or are economically insecure but also because there is a certain degree of stigma associated with their old age. Semi-structured interviews, non-participant observation and focus groups were used to highlight their importance in urban sustainability and to call for a re-evaluation of their work by society. It is intended that through this research their impact on waste reduction will be made visible and stereotypes associated with old age will be dismantled, positioning these recyclers as key actors in the sustainability process.
