Published onAccording to national environmental authorities, Social Inclusion Plans (PISO) have been developed within the framework of various ISWM (GIRSU) projects. These plans include conducting censuses of waste pickers, training activities, the creation of working groups, and the delivery of personal protective equipment (PPE). In addition, three Environmental Centers have been implemented with sorting plants and complementary facilities—such as childcare spaces for the preschool-age children of waste pickers—located in Formosa, Concordia, and Villa María. Further PISO initiatives have been planned and launched in the following projects: GIRSU Santiago del Estero – La Banda (planning and kickoff); GIRSU Luján (continuation of implementation, including censuses of dumpsite waste pickers, urban waste pickers, and mapping of informal collection routes); GIRSU General Alvarado (initial planning and meetings with municipal stakeholders and waste pickers; a census was carried out together with the provincial Environment team).
In parallel, PISO are being developed for projects at the executive design stage in various territories: Chascomús; the Andean Region of Chubut (Lago Puelo, El Hoyo, Cholila, Epuyén, and El Maitén); the Atlantic Coast of the Province of Buenos Aires (Madariaga, Villa Gesell, Pinamar, Mar Chiquita); the Pico Truncado–Caleta Olivia–Las Heras region (Santa Cruz); Tierra del Fuego (Ushuaia, Tolhuin, and Río Grande); Reconquista Consortium (Santa Fe); Chaco Region 10 (Resistencia, Puerto Vilelas, Barranqueras, and Fontana); Unión and Marcos Juárez Departments (Córdoba); Llanos Norte Region (La Rioja); Norte II Region (Salta); Aluminé (Neuquén); San Rafael (Mendoza); and the City of San Luis.
