The approach is to simplify and standardise the process of validation of waste management projects in order to improve recycling rates of lower value plastics, increase the amount of funding available to projects collecting and recycling it, and to restore trust in the system, which has recently been damaged due to the poor execution of some \u2018plastic credit\u2019 schemes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As part of the proceedings, the team attended a reception organised by the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/globalrec.org\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">International Alliance of Waste Pickers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> joining other organisations working with waste pickers in emerging markets to help deliver their message that \u2018recycling without waste pickers is garbage\u2019.
