00:01:15.130 --> 00:01:16.920
Good Morning

00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:18.720
It\'s half past six in the morning,

00:01:18.720 --> 00:01:23.220
this here is the cafeteria of the cooperative
where our logistics are based,

00:01:23.220 --> 00:01:27.810
and from six-thirty there\'s coffee,
with bread and butter,

00:01:27.810 --> 00:01:32.770
the staff will leave here for the collection,
they drink their coffee properly,

00:01:32.770 --> 00:01:35.190
to leave fueled for the rush.

00:01:47.450 --> 00:01:52.960
Selective collection is a social
and environmental paradigm shift,

00:01:52.960 --> 00:01:56.750
because for us to discuss selective
collection and recycling,

00:01:56.750 --> 00:01:59.710
it is necessary to change our mentality.

00:02:00.880 --> 00:02:03.800
We live in a consumer society,

00:02:03.800 --> 00:02:08.850
where technological programmed cycles
are getting shorter and shorter,

00:02:08.850 --> 00:02:13.020
the products have a decreasing durability,

00:02:13.020 --> 00:02:17.400
and all our products today
have one or more packages.

00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:20.400
Even fruits and vegetables come packaged.

00:03:13.250 --> 00:03:16.830
As you can see, the material
is here, all mixed up.

00:03:16.830 --> 00:03:19.460
Then it passes through the treadmill,

00:03:19.460 --> 00:03:23.920
the thickest material is taken from
here and goes straight to the press,

00:03:23.920 --> 00:03:28.140
and here we sort the materials.

00:03:38.060 --> 00:03:42.280
This bag was there on the treadmill,

00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:46.360
so when it fills up there, it comes
here, and here it\'s all mixed up,

00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:52.490
PP and Pead, which is
polypropylene and polyethylene,

00:03:52.490 --> 00:03:57.290
are mixed.
So it goes over there,

00:03:57.290 --> 00:04:02.130
and the cooperative members will
make the proper separation

00:04:02.130 --> 00:04:05.170
to go to the mill mouth.

00:04:06.670 --> 00:04:10.260
But what is selective
collection effectively?

00:04:10.260 --> 00:04:12.470
It is the process of separation,

00:04:12.470 --> 00:04:15.430
waste collection

00:04:15.430 --> 00:04:17.230
according to its constitution,

00:04:17.230 --> 00:04:19.600
if it\'s organic, if it\'s recyclable,

00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:21.060
or if it is a reject.

00:04:23.110 --> 00:04:25.230
I am married to a descendant.

00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:29.910
I\'ve lived in Japan, I\'ve
been a metallurgist.

00:04:31.870 --> 00:04:35.370
When I came back from Japan,
I was unemployed,

00:04:35.370 --> 00:04:40.710
20 years ago, I had no work.

00:04:40.710 --> 00:04:46.510
Then I was invited by some friends
to come work at the cooperative,

00:04:46.510 --> 00:04:49.680
to work on coordination.

00:04:58.770 --> 00:05:03.360
As I had no experience,
I started doing all kinds of services

00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:05.320
which there were within the co-op,

00:05:05.320 --> 00:05:09.860
to be able to know and understand
what recycling was,

00:05:09.860 --> 00:05:12.570
because until then I
didn\'t know anything.

00:05:12.570 --> 00:05:16.040
That\'s where I got better,
I was improving,

00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:23.210
I took some plastic separation courses,
to get to know plastics,

00:05:23.210 --> 00:05:30.050
papers and everything, so I can
pass this on to my teammates.

00:05:34.640 --> 00:05:36.680
Here is file paper,

00:05:37.770 --> 00:05:43.690
here are materials, books, etc.,
and the glass.

00:05:43.690 --> 00:05:45.770
They are unloading there.

00:05:46.860 --> 00:05:48.940
Here I have the cardboard,

00:05:48.940 --> 00:05:56.200
fine shavings, grocery bags,
garbage bag, plastic tarpaulins

00:05:56.200 --> 00:05:57.790
and so on.

00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:03.500
We can separate everything,
so for us, nothing here is rubbish.

00:06:03.500 --> 00:06:07.920
Nothing is garbage, garbage is what is really
useless and has to go to the landfill.

00:06:22.390 --> 00:06:24.100
We need to change.

00:06:24.100 --> 00:06:27.570
Change the key of thinking,
of being in the world.

00:06:27.570 --> 00:06:30.570
Hence the proposal of the five Rs,

00:06:30.570 --> 00:06:33.780
which is: Rethink, Refuse,

00:06:33.780 --> 00:06:38.030
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

00:06:55.970 --> 00:07:00.640
My parents made a living
working at the farm,

00:07:00.640 --> 00:07:06.560
so when the Landless Movement
started, in the 90s,

00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:12.230
my father was a supporter of the Landless Movement
and i was young back then

00:07:12.230 --> 00:07:18.320
and I started to understand the
whole dynamics of the fight.

00:07:18.320 --> 00:07:23.700
And to also like the
mobilizations, that is, we‚

00:07:23.700 --> 00:07:28.540
people began to see in me a person
who had the potential to contribute.

00:07:30.170 --> 00:07:36.680
When the Workers Party government
emerged with Toninho here in Campinas,

00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:39.350
one of the biases of their work projects

00:07:39.350 --> 00:07:43.560
was to promote workers\'
cooperatives within the city,

00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:49.190
in the diversity of services,
day care, schools, gardening.

00:07:49.190 --> 00:07:54.570
And also, one of the items was to
advance in selective collection

00:07:54.570 --> 00:07:59.700
changing the system, which until
then was coordinated by the First Lady.

00:07:59.700 --> 00:08:04.830
The first lady distributed
recyclable material to families,

00:08:04.830 --> 00:08:11.710
and in the case of Toninho, it already led
to a bias of organizing people into cooperatives.

00:08:11.710 --> 00:08:14.340
So that\'s when we
became aware of it,

00:08:14.340 --> 00:08:18.010
when I say we are the residents\' association,

00:08:18.010 --> 00:08:24.970
and we look for Caritas,
which is an NGO of the Catholic Church,

00:08:24.970 --> 00:08:29.440
to be able to ask for instructions
on how we could form a cooperative.

00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:47.540
I\'ve been working here for 15 years.

00:08:48.290 --> 00:08:52.330
In the press, wherever they
throw me here, I am.

00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:55.710
I\'m moving.

00:08:55.710 --> 00:09:00.470
I don\'t want to stay at home,
I\'m retired, will I stay at home?

00:09:00.470 --> 00:09:03.180
I like to work so I go there.

00:09:04.010 --> 00:09:07.270
I get here at five o\'clock in
the morning, five-thirty.

00:09:09.020 --> 00:09:12.610
We are cooperated, cooperated
is everybody united,

00:09:12.610 --> 00:09:17.490
everything that comes we gather,
for later we share.

00:09:35.290 --> 00:09:39.970
We give all the training in the part
of access to activism, solidarity economy,

00:09:39.970 --> 00:09:42.760
collective work, self-management,

00:09:43.430 --> 00:09:45.930
you will get this with X groups.

00:09:45.930 --> 00:09:50.560
It is not by chance that in
this period of 18 to 20 years,

00:09:50.560 --> 00:09:52.350
these social groups,

00:09:52.350 --> 00:09:57.400
the recycling area was one of the
fastest growing in the country today,

00:09:57.400 --> 00:09:59.440
the recycling area.

00:10:10.040 --> 00:10:14.960
This is where the entire door-to-door
selective collection process was implemented.

00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:18.840
There are 7 thousand registered houses.

00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:22.130
Around 30 tons‚

00:10:22.130 --> 00:10:25.930
- More, huh? Today is...
- 32.

00:10:25.930 --> 00:10:30.100
32 tons, today it is able to
sell directly to companies,

00:10:30.100 --> 00:10:31.390
the majority.

00:10:48.280 --> 00:10:53.080
Here at CEASA there are three recycling points,
where the staff collects the material,

00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:58.880
centralizes in ecopoints and then,
here is an association called ACCEasa,

00:10:58.880 --> 00:11:00.960
they provide a truck

00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:03.550
which transfers the recycling
bins to the shed

00:11:03.550 --> 00:11:07.720
where sorting, pressing, storage and
truck loading are carried out.

00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:11.060
So this is part of the
operational process

00:11:11.060 --> 00:11:13.640
of the collection of recyclables
from here at CEASA.

00:11:17.690 --> 00:11:21.150
This solidary selective collection
is an important instrument,

00:11:21.150 --> 00:11:25.780
as the general selective collection
instituted, also, by public agencies,

00:11:25.780 --> 00:11:27.910
to strengthen cooperatives.

00:11:27.910 --> 00:11:31.290
This strengthening of
cooperatives today allows

00:11:31.290 --> 00:11:34.160
that individual,
singular cooperatives,

00:11:34.160 --> 00:11:39.210
which are cooperatives of people
that promote selective collection,

00:11:39.210 --> 00:11:41.630
promote sorting in their territory,

00:11:41.630 --> 00:11:45.170
organize themselves into
second-degree cooperatives.

00:11:45.170 --> 00:11:48.840
And Campinas has one such example,
which is Reciclamp,

00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.680
which managed to organize
several singular cooperatives

00:11:52.680 --> 00:11:55.100
in a second degree cooperative,

00:11:55.100 --> 00:11:59.770
which professionalized all the
commercialization and logistics,

00:11:59.770 --> 00:12:04.280
thus ensuring that the cooperative
member at the end has a higher income.

00:12:29.430 --> 00:12:34.560
The first job we did was to have
a conversation in the industries

00:12:34.560 --> 00:12:39.020
to know by what name it was called
and what was the proper separation.

00:12:39.020 --> 00:12:42.940
Because we were able to
value our material much more

00:12:42.940 --> 00:12:46.740
from the moment we had an
adequate separation to the market

00:12:46.740 --> 00:12:50.110
and that managed to make volume
to sell to the industry.

00:12:50.110 --> 00:12:53.450
The industry was looking for us
but we had no condition

00:12:53.450 --> 00:12:57.200
to make the separation,
We didn\'t have instructions for that,

00:12:57.200 --> 00:13:02.580
and we were also unable
to store a certain material

00:13:02.580 --> 00:13:05.590
and wait three to four months
to form a load to sell.

00:13:05.590 --> 00:13:09.880
Because there, as the saying goes,
we were selling lunch to buy dinner.

00:13:09.880 --> 00:13:13.600
So we consolidated the commercialization
after three years,

00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:17.890
and then the cooperative, Reciclamp,
had already been instituted.

00:13:17.890 --> 00:13:21.350
Today we have a group
of nine collectors,

00:13:21.350 --> 00:13:24.230
we go out with three
collection teams every day,

00:13:24.230 --> 00:13:30.990
So with that, that is, we created a
more professional way in terms of logistics.

00:14:19.540 --> 00:14:26.130
This cooperative separates
the recyclable material,

00:14:26.130 --> 00:14:32.590
we have our own collection,
which is the São Conrado condominium.

00:14:32.590 --> 00:14:36.350
What is most worthwhile
is aluminum, cans,

00:14:36.350 --> 00:14:39.640
today very little comes
into the cooperatives,

00:14:39.640 --> 00:14:43.140
because there are many collectors
collecting this type of material,

00:14:43.140 --> 00:14:47.270
and secondly there today
is the plastic chain,

00:14:47.270 --> 00:14:50.610
which is what makes the most money.

00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:06.040
Within the selective collection
we also have a concept,

00:15:06.040 --> 00:15:09.340
which is solidary
selective collection.

00:15:09.340 --> 00:15:11.920
And what is this solidary
selective collection?

00:15:11.920 --> 00:15:18.300
It is a strategy that seeks to
build a new institutional culture

00:15:18.300 --> 00:15:23.230
in the management of waste within the scope
of the federal public administration,

00:15:23.230 --> 00:15:26.810
both direct and indirect.

00:15:26.810 --> 00:15:29.570
And what are the benefits,
for example,

00:15:29.570 --> 00:15:32.860
of this new institutional culture
in federal agencies?

00:15:32.860 --> 00:15:35.610
An increase in collectors\' income,

00:15:35.610 --> 00:15:38.820
the creation of new jobs

00:15:38.820 --> 00:15:41.490
through the collection,

00:15:41.490 --> 00:15:44.410
of sorting, processing
and material recycling,

00:15:44.410 --> 00:15:47.620
and promotion of productive
recycling activities.

00:16:18.110 --> 00:16:19.950
Let\'s go, COOCARES.

00:16:20.990 --> 00:16:23.620
I\'m going there tomorrow, okay?

00:16:23.620 --> 00:16:24.750
Let\'s go?

00:16:24.750 --> 00:16:26.290
- I won\'t.
- Come on.

00:16:26.290 --> 00:16:27.000
- I won\'t.

00:16:28.170 --> 00:16:30.130
There are people from the movement
that for us doesn\'t work.

00:16:30.130 --> 00:16:33.000
Look here, we have eight cooperatives

00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:34.590
to form this association.

00:16:34.590 --> 00:16:39.010
I was thinking of making an appointment
for this week with Ana and Maurício,

00:16:39.010 --> 00:16:41.600
for us to encompass this
discussion further.

00:16:55.730 --> 00:16:59.910
That group we met now, COOCARES,
worked at the Inhamã dump.

00:16:59.910 --> 00:17:03.530
There were around 120, 100 collectors.

00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:11.670
Then we trained them, made a participatory
methodological process with them,

00:17:11.670 --> 00:17:15.250
where we interacted with people\'s
theory with their practice.

00:17:15.250 --> 00:17:17.710
One group was still inside the dump,

00:17:17.710 --> 00:17:20.590
and the other group came to the street
to do door-to-door selective collection.

00:17:20.590 --> 00:17:25.180
With a week, when they saw that the material
that arrived in the dump was all dirty

00:17:25.180 --> 00:17:27.270
and theirs that they took in
the collection was all clean,

00:17:27.270 --> 00:17:30.190
then they stopped going to the dump
and went to collect everything.

00:17:32.650 --> 00:17:36.610
What strengthens the group is
this issue of solidarity,

00:17:36.610 --> 00:17:39.610
they are always together

00:17:39.610 --> 00:17:45.410
in favor not only of the enterprise
but of a whole set of things,

00:17:45.410 --> 00:17:50.330
in this case, in the area of ​​recycling,
if they see that the more they unite,

00:17:50.330 --> 00:17:52.710
the easier they get
things out there,

00:17:52.710 --> 00:17:55.380
because it is a highly
competitive market,

00:17:55.380 --> 00:17:58.130
it\'s a market in which whoever
has money is in charge,

00:17:58.130 --> 00:18:02.470
and they see that joining the production of
one, joining the production of another,

00:18:02.470 --> 00:18:06.560
they will bargain more in
terms of value and price.

00:18:18.980 --> 00:18:23.410
E a discussão da coleta seletiva,
a proposta da coleta seletiva,

00:18:23.410 --> 00:18:27.330
está combinada com um processo
de aprovação

00:18:27.330 --> 00:18:30.540
da política nacional de resíduos sólidos,

00:18:30.540 --> 00:18:35.790
tendo como proposta a prática de hábitos
de consumo sustentável.

00:18:37.380 --> 00:18:42.170
Agora, a principal ferramenta
da política nacional de resíduos sólidos

00:18:42.170 --> 00:18:48.680
é a inclusão de catadores e de catadoras
de materiais recicláveis e reutilizáveis.

00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:52.350
Eram eles que puxavam carroça
nos centros urbanos

00:18:52.350 --> 00:18:57.230
e conseguiram deixar com que
toneladas e toneladas de materiais

00:18:57.230 --> 00:18:59.190
não fossem para os lixões.

00:18:59.190 --> 00:19:03.200
E o outro aspecto, obviamente,
é a questão da inclusão produtiva,

00:19:03.200 --> 00:19:07.740
de você transformar, entre aspas, o lixo,
em geração de trabalho e renda.

00:19:32.890 --> 00:19:35.690
Meu primeiro emprego foi plástico,

00:19:35.690 --> 00:19:41.020
então tudo que se diz no processo
de fabricação do plástico, eu passei.

00:19:45.070 --> 00:19:51.540
Nós recebemos materiais já separados
por tipo e cor,

00:19:51.540 --> 00:19:53.830
a gente faz a moagem,

00:19:54.450 --> 00:19:56.790
mói, seca,

00:19:56.790 --> 00:19:58.920
e faz o granulado.

00:20:39.710 --> 00:20:42.210
Na indústria você tem um salário,

00:20:42.210 --> 00:20:45.380
então tem muita gente que
entra na indústria sete horas da manhã

00:20:45.380 --> 00:20:47.720
e não vê a hora de sair cinco horas da tarde,

00:20:47.720 --> 00:20:50.550
se produziu, produziu, se não produziu‚

00:20:50.550 --> 00:20:53.680
No fim do mês ele quer o salário.
A gente não,

00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:56.390
gente tem a necessidade de produzir.

00:20:56.390 --> 00:20:59.060
Porque senão, no final do mês,
não temos salário.

00:20:59.060 --> 00:21:00.690
A gente tem que cuidar da melhor forma,

00:21:00.690 --> 00:21:04.110
então não tem sábado, não tem domingo,
não tem feriado, não tem chuva,

00:21:04.110 --> 00:21:07.610
se precisar a gente está aí
para servir a rede.

00:21:07.610 --> 00:21:10.660
E a consequência disso é trazer
um resultado positivo para mim mesmo, né,

00:21:10.660 --> 00:21:13.870
porque afinal de contas
é do meu trabalho, digno, que eu faço,

00:21:13.870 --> 00:21:16.040
que eu tiro o meu pão de cada dia.

00:21:48.740 --> 00:21:50.740
Ele vem para a reciclagem,

00:21:52.280 --> 00:21:54.780
evita de extrapolar o aterro

00:21:54.780 --> 00:21:56.080
e gera renda.

00:21:57.120 --> 00:22:00.830
Ao invés de estar retirando lá da fonte,

00:22:00.830 --> 00:22:02.620
nós estamos reprocessando ele.

00:22:03.120 --> 00:22:04.040
Legal, isso.

00:22:04.380 --> 00:22:06.040
‚ÄúAh, você é catador de lixo?‚Äù

00:22:06.040 --> 00:22:09.970
Que catador de lixo, rapaz, você não está vendo
que nós somos garimpeiros, aí?

00:22:09.970 --> 00:22:12.340
É nossa cooperativa lá.

00:22:12.340 --> 00:22:15.050
Nós estamos limpando o planeta
aqui para vocês.

00:22:35.240 --> 00:22:36.910
Então como a gente p√¥de ver,

00:22:36.910 --> 00:22:41.580
a coleta seletiva não é um processo
apenas burocrático e institucional.

00:22:41.580 --> 00:22:46.000
É um processo vivo,
precisa de uma cidadania ativa,

00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:50.170
é um chamado para a sociedade,
é para mudar os seus hábitos

00:22:50.170 --> 00:22:56.340
e promover uma sociedade mais justa,
ambientalmente responsável

00:22:56.340 --> 00:22:59.760
e principalmente
que transforme os resíduos sólidos

00:22:59.760 --> 00:23:03.230
em um forte instrumento
de inclusão produtiva.
