RATEAU, Melanie. Ownership Conflicts of Recyclable Waste and Socio institutional Innovations in Lima. Territ. [online]. 2017, n.37, pp.61-80. ISSN 0123-8418.  https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/territorios/a.5086.

For many years, the public policies of waste management developed repressive actions against the players in the informal recycling. In Peru, since the Law of Wastepicking of 2009, public policies are in favor of an inclusive recycling, through the integration of wastepickers. Using concepts of socio-institutional innovation and appropriation of recyclable waste, the aim of this work is to sustain that the modalities of implementation of the Law lead to the creation of innovative recyclable waste management models which enables to mitigate the conflict of access to these waste between formal wastepickers, but at the same time, this conflict moves from the set of wastepickers for generate a rivalry between formal and informal. It is emphasized that, thanks to socio-institutional innovations, the new institutional interest for selective collection does not lead to the creation of a conflict of ownership between the public management service and the mercantile recycling logic, as might have been the case been.

Keywords : Socio-institutional innovation; appropriation conflicts; inclusive recycling; informal wastepickers; Lima.
