Despite progress in policy and practice, there has been a lack of focus on the social implications of circular transitions in developing cities in Asia.

Responding to this gap, this paper presents data from informal waste workers, households, and junkshops in two Bangkok districts which we analyze from material, social, and behavioral perspectives, drawing out implications for inclusive circularity
