Palestinian workers reuse plastics to produce fuel in the nourthern of Gaza strip on August 25, 2022. Gaza’s plastic collectors and recyclers create badly needed jobs and income—but at a high environmental cost. And yet despite the dire state, Gaza’s plastic recyclers are at the forefront of work to stave off economic, humanitarian, and environmental collapse. In recent years a new culture and economy have risen up around recycling plastics: from collecting and cleaning to sorting and repurposing, people have created direly needed business opportunities. Plastics in the Gaza Strip are both a curse and a blessing. Photo by Omar Ashtawy\ apaimages
