Abstract:
This article aims to point out some tensions that arise that arise from the establishment of collective production targets for recycling cooperatives. Based on a case study under a recycle cooperative in the city of Campinas, São Paulo, this text seeks to show that the implementation of the production goals brought as a consequence increase and predictability of income. In this sense, the adoption of collective production target did not break the processes of choice and decision of cooperatives, but has adapted to them.
