SWAPPCon 2008 Report

In the Philippines, recycling takes place through a chain of activities involving various sectors, namely: itinerant waste buyers, junkshops, waste pickers, consolidators or waste traders and recycling industries. However, it is only recently that the large contribution of this sector is being recognized and acknowledged. In fact, there are already on-going initiatives to encourage the participation of the recycling sector particularly the informal waste sector in the promotion of the 3Rs in the country.
