WRI ROSS CENTER PRIZE FOR CITIES

changed a city’s culture around waste picking.

CONGRATULATIONS

FORTALEZA


Like many Brazilian cities, Fortaleza faced an escalating municipal waste
challenge and very low recycling rates.

 

First launched in 2019, the pilot project that would evolve into Re-Ciclo has
transformed public perceptions around recycling, empowered and formalized waste
pickers, and created a more sustainable, integrated city.
