Abstract

The unbridled exploitation of the environment and the inadequate disposal of solid waste imply social damage. The objective was to analyze the socioeconomic and environmental profile of the Collectors of the Association and Cooperative in dialogue with the principles of the Solidarity Economy and the data presented by the Institute of Applied Economic Research - IPEA (2013) and the National Movement of Recyclable Material Collectors - MNCR (2021). This is a qualitative descriptive, bibliographic, documentary research with comparative and content analysis. The results indicate that the Recyclable Material Production Cooperative of Tangará da Serra/MT stands out in gender, since most of the cooperative members declare themselves to be female when compared to the data from IPEA and MNRC, another relevance is in labor relations. While in the Association of Recyclable Material Collectors of Cáceres the reality is the opposite. However, incubation based on the principles of the Solidarity Economy is important in the process of socio-productive inclusion.

Keywords: incubation; self-management; environmental education; cooperativism; public policies.
