In the Brazilian City of Belo Horizante a trend has began to form where individuals are collecting trash in order to create pieces of art. Catadores (trash collectors) are transforming any old disused material into furniture, jewelry and works of art. It was estimated in 2010 by the Business Commitment for Recycling association, that there were roughly one million catadores in Brazil, although only a small number work for cooperatives and organizations.
The ASMARE cooperative – which claims to be the first catadore cooperative in Brazil – has started programs and opened individual’s eyes to the benefits of recycling. Combining art sales and the money accumulated from selling recycled materials, an ASMARE worker’s monthly income now averages 1,700 Brazilian Reais (about $800).
Awareness of the movement has other organizations and artists taking to the streets to find new materials for their art endeavors and, has spread a new way of thinking that involves careful consideration before deciding to throw something away. For more info on this new form of art please visit http://www.cnn.com/2013/06/12/world/brazil-catadores-trash-treasure
