| Summary: | This essay seeks to analyze questions about the emergence of the circular economy (CE), with an emphasis on the limitations regarding the values and social inclusion of recycling workers. The reflections were constructed from the perspective of the inequalities and social exclusions that may emerge from the CE in Brazil if implemented without the proper recognition and valorization of the main recycling actors in the country: the waste pickers. This article contextualizes the CE debates, integrates recent contributions from critical studies on the subject, and discusses claims regarding the potential of social management to promote social inclusion and governance in the political agenda of CE projects in Brazil. |
