(Universidad de Cuenca, 2025-06-09) Lalvay Carrera, Claudia Fernanda; Cabrera Barbecho, Fanny Narcisa
The main purpose of the project is to evaluate the social performance of informal recycling carried out by the ASERLIBER association at the dump in La Libertad canton, Santa Elena province, during 2022. The study seeks to identify the social risks associated with the working conditions of waste pickers, evaluate the positive and negative social impacts, and highlight critical aspects of the life cycle of this system. The Social Life Cycle Assessment (SLA) methodology is used, following UNEP guidelines, using indicators that address dimensions such as economic well-being, occupational safety, gender equity, occupational health, human rights and job satisfaction. These indicators are applied to both ASERLIBER members and the local community, using structured surveys. The results obtained are compared with a previous study conducted in Cuenca with grassroots recyclers. The qualitative analysis of social risks makes it possible to identify factors that affect the wellbeing of waste pickers, such as job insecurity and lack of access to social security. The comparison between theoretical and real risks is done through a risk matrix, based on data provided by waste pickers. Based on these findings, priority areas for intervention are identified to improve their social and working conditions, promoting their integration into formal waste management systems. Finally, the study makes recommendations for policy makers, environmental managers and waste picker associations, aimed at reducing social risks and strengthening the capacities of the informal waste picker sector.
