Abstract

Purpose

This article aims to draw insight from a variety of management disciplines to encourage a broader view of the economy as it relates to sustainable waste management (SWM) development.

Design/methodology/approach

The paper presents a framework to describe how strengths can be blended to support environmental sustainability (ES), highlighting the need for community cooperation between the informal and formal sectors of the economy.

Findings

Unique contributions for SWM can emerge from both economic sectors and, when leveraged, may drive community development within local municipalities.

Practical implications

The platform addresses the need for more flexible governmental policies that encourage waste management activities among formal and informal workers.

Originality/value

The paper brings forward typically disregarded ES waste management opportunities that reside within the informal sector, an often overlooked aspect of the broader economy.
