When asked why collectors and resellers such as himself don't organize to establish a government-recognized union of informal collectors/refurbishers, he shrugged. "It's too difficult to organize the other collectors." Some say that formalizing the informal sector would increase their costs, especially for disposing old TVs that no longer have market value but contain hazardous materials that require safe handling. Other countries such as Brazil and India have formalized informal collectors and waste pickers into unions, which allows them to engage more directly with 'formal' recyclers.

At Peru Green's recycling facility, products are dismantled at workstations (left) and materials are sorted into giant bins. A small percentage of components are sold to a local metals processor. The majority of components, such as printed circuit boards and copper cables, are shipped to either the U.S., Europe or China for further processing since Peru Green does not currently have a mechanism for further reducing or shredding components down to their commodity, or raw material, level. Peru Green's recycling contracts with institutions prohibit reuse, thus incentivizing exports of components to regions where they have high market value. In Peru, a less industrialized country, formal recyclers have limited options for processing components beyond dismantling them, highlighting the need to shore up transparency and certification schemes for recyclers across all industrialized and non-industrialized markets.

Under its contractual obligations with commercial customers, this formal recycling facilty does not refurbish electronics or salvage parts for reuse. While some metals are sold to local markets, components such as circuit boards, copper cables, and plastics are baled and prepared for export for further processing. The emergence of the formal sector potentially gives rise to competition with the informal sector for the same materials. Understanding the relative strengths of both entities and the benefits they both bring to society is important to allow for different forms of employment to flourish. In addition, pinpointing where vulnerablities exist in safely recycling these products-- such as informal CRT glass disposal-- and recognizing the socio-political dynamics that limit collaboration between the formal and informal sectors is critical for forging a system where both can thrive. Finally, given technological constraints among Peru’s formal recyclers, stakeholders should look to shore up certification of best recycling practices in key regions, such as Asia and the United States, so that all countries who must export material have access to sound end-of-life processing methods that are transparent for all, or build up local recycling capacities through technology transfers.

"I never intended to become homeless. My job meant everything to me. But, being empowered as a transgender woman, I encountered a lot fo adversity and suffered burnout. That burnout led to substance abuse, incarceration, then homelessness. Under the housing first model, with assistance from Pathways to Housing, D.C., Dee has transitioned off the streets into her own home and is actively seeking employment. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/Dee-345.jpg A Few Tries When Curry first received housing she continued to have run-ins with law enforcement, finding herself in and out of jail. In her second home, she battled substance abuse. "Relapse is often part of recovery," said Christy Respress, Pathways to Housing DC's executive director. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/Dee-005.jpg Home Dee chose to return to the Southeast Washington, D.C. neighborhood where she grew up. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/Dee-061.jpg The Long Road Back Those emerging from chronic homelessness often find navigating the web of available social services overwhelming. Pathways to Housing's Assertive Community Treatment team members and specialists guide them through an administrative maze of paperwork and follow-up calls. As a transgender woman, Curry feels awkward providing legal documents that still contain her birth name when applying for jobs. Above, Curry waits to meet with her ACT team member at Pathways to help her in the process to legally change her name. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/Dee-136.jpg A Helping Hand Hannah Roberts, Curry's employment specialist at Pathways to Housing D.C., meets with her twice weekly. Here, Roberts and Curry practice and prepare for Curry's job interview at a local supermarket on an upcoming Saturday morning. Curry was nervous. Roberts offered to accompany her on her interview for support. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/Dee-325.jpg Tough Moments After listening to Roberts talk on the phone with government officials, Curry discoverst that her GED records cannot be found. GED is a requirement for various jobs to which she Curry is applying and she received her GED while briefly incarcerated in the late 1970s. But at that moment, none of the state or city records offices have been able to locate it. “I know I’m going to have to take the GED again if they can’t find it,” sighed Dee, temporarily frustrated. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/Dee-003.jpg On a Budget Curry runs errands on the day she receives her monthly benefits. For most Housing First consumers like Curry, social security or disability benefits comprise their sole income. In Washington, D.C., under the Housing First model, the city collects up to 30 percent of all income for rent, leaving an even tighter budget to cover monthly expenditures such as groceries, travel, and phone bills. Curry meets monthly with members of her ACT team to review her expenditures and ensure that she stays within budget. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/Dee-069.jpg New Starts, New Skills Roberts and Curry work together on Curry’s typing skills. To qualify for higher-skilled jobs, Curry needs to be able to type thirty words per minute. Many seeking work after being chronically homeless, regardless of age, must learn new skills to find employment in today’s digital economy. Afterwards, Curry practices writing email inquiries to prospective employers. “Dee is really motivated to find work,” said Roberts. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/Dee-092.jpg New Starts When you are poor, your life is under a microscope and people feel like they can tell you what to do. But when people are given a choice, empowered to make their own decisions, they can own their own recovery,” says Christy Respress, executive director of Pathways DC. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/Dee-163.jpg A Few Tries As of the beginning of 2015, Dee has been in her new home for approximately 5 months and is actively seeking employment. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/Dee-064.jpg Dee “When you are poor, your life is under a microscope and people feel like they can tell you what to do. But when people are given a choice, empowered to make their own decisions, they can own their own recovery,” says Respress. With housing first, customers choose where they wish to live, allowing them to start anew. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/Dee-382.jpg Dee Now, in her third apartment, Curry no longer struggles with addiction: "Finally, I feel like myself." https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/Dee-010.jpg Noticeable Change Curry greets Pathways’ receptionists and medical staff. Many staff members recall Curry as withdrawn when she first arrived at Pathways D.C. 'Today Dee is joyful, confident and has a strong desire to find meaningful work," said Respress. Curry credits her ACT team, supported employment individuals and receptionists at Pathways to Housing D.C. with getting back on her feet. “They all impacted my life and recovery.” https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/Dee-757.jpg Community Support Every Sunday night, members of Curry’s church fellowship group gather for dinner. Healthy social connections are essential to helping the formerly homeless develop support systems within their communities. Over time, this often results in a reduced need for social services. “[Addressing homelessness] is not just one dimensional. You have to address all the issues: getting comprehensive care for mental illness, getting help for substance abuse and having people believe in you,” said Curry. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/Dee-436.jpg Home Home. https://vraduphotography.com/in-kenya:-transformations monthly 0.8 https://vraduphotography.com/at-her-table monthly 0.8 https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/MT20130927-1453.jpg At Her Table | vraduphotography.com View At Her Table by vraduphotography.com. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/MT20130927-1016.jpg At Her Table | vraduphotography.com View At Her Table by vraduphotography.com. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/MT20130926-045.jpg At Her Table | vraduphotography.com View At Her Table by vraduphotography.com. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/MT20130926-1124.jpg At Her Table | vraduphotography.com View At Her Table by vraduphotography.com. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/MT20130927-157.jpg At Her Table | vraduphotography.com View At Her Table by vraduphotography.com. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/MT20130926-274.jpg At Her Table | vraduphotography.com View At Her Table by vraduphotography.com. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/MT20130926-201.jpg At Her Table | vraduphotography.com View At Her Table by vraduphotography.com. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/MT20130927-0647.jpg At Her Table | vraduphotography.com View At Her Table by vraduphotography.com. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/MT20130927-0384.jpg At Her Table | vraduphotography.com View At Her Table by vraduphotography.com. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/MT20130927-1799.jpg At Her Table | vraduphotography.com View At Her Table by vraduphotography.com. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/MT20130927-1154.jpg At Her Table | vraduphotography.com View At Her Table by vraduphotography.com. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/MT20130926-436.jpg At Her Table | vraduphotography.com View At Her Table by vraduphotography.com. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/MT20130927-1087.jpg At Her Table | vraduphotography.com View At Her Table by vraduphotography.com. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/MT20130927-0582.jpg At Her Table | vraduphotography.com View At Her Table by vraduphotography.com. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/MT20130926-284.jpg At Her Table | vraduphotography.com View At Her Table by vraduphotography.com. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/MT20130927-0981.jpg At Her Table | vraduphotography.com View At Her Table by vraduphotography.com. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/MT20130927-2079.jpg At Her Table | vraduphotography.com View At Her Table by vraduphotography.com. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/MT20130926-336.jpg At Her Table | vraduphotography.com View At Her Table by vraduphotography.com. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/MT20130926-934.jpg At Her Table | vraduphotography.com View At Her Table by vraduphotography.com. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/MT20130927-1256.jpg At Her Table | vraduphotography.com View At Her Table by vraduphotography.com. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/MT20130927-1366.jpg At Her Table | vraduphotography.com View At Her Table by vraduphotography.com. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/MT20130927-1950.jpg At Her Table | vraduphotography.com View At Her Table by vraduphotography.com. https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/MT20130927-1909.jpg At Her Table | vraduphotography.com View At Her Table by vraduphotography.com. https://vraduphotography.com/postcards:-north monthly 0.8 https://cdn.neonsky.app/4df269c081183/images/Paris_night-3616.jpg FRANCE A view from the roofdeck of the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
