 Purpose
The main objective of this activity is the inclusion of workers in the productive chain of recycling in Brazil, by attending the financing needs of their cooperatives, making use of credit and foment instruments which are characteristic of a development bank and of a policy of inclusion.
A second objective is, together with the Interministerial Committee for Social Inclusion of Recycling Material Collectors, to contribute for complementation of regional and social development policies in line with priority federal actions destined for the low-income population which operates in the activities of collecting recycling material in urban centers. BNDES also expects to stimulate the development, diffusion and replication of social technologies aimed at improving public policies.
Results
of the First Supporting Cycle
BNDES participation in the Federal actions addressed to this segment started in 2007, with the publication of Cycle I of Support to productive structuring projects of cooperatives within the sphere of the initiative "Support to Recycling Material Collector Projects". 127 projects were submitted, 67 of which were considered eligible for fitting purposes. Among these, 44 projects were included, 34 of which were approved, in the amount of BRL23 million. It is estimated that these operations will result in an increase of around 2,300 job posts in the cooperatives and a 45% increase in the average income of cooperative members.
BNDES support to the segment was structured according to a study entitled "Analysis of the Cost of Generating Job Positions in the Urban Economy for the Segment of Recycling Material Collectors" (*), in which recycling cooperatives and associations of collectors were typified and a model of a basic investment unit was proposed for each type, according to its stage of development, aiming at the generation of new job positions and increased efficiency of the segment. BNDES also considered recommendations issued by the main legal and administrative groups which guide federal policies with impact on this segment, besides the demands from the National Movement of Recycling Material Collectors.
(*) The study "Analysis of the Cost of Generating Job Positions in the Urban Economy for the Segment of Recycling Material Collectors", was financed with funds from the Ministry of Social Development and Combat to Hunger - MDS, an achievement of the National Movement of Recycling Material Collectors - MNCMR, under the institutional coordination of OAF/PANGEA and the technical coordination of the Group of Intersectorial Relationships Studies of the Economic Sciences College of the Federal University of Bahia.
