Introduction Marginalized the economic system always caused social upheaval and led economists to think alternative systems or palliative measures to combat the phenomenon of social exclusion. The Social Economy has established itself as a branch of economic science that studies the issues of marginalization and its performance. The current stage of the Social Economy in Brazil is of great advancement, existing not only a National Secretariat for Solidarity Economy but also a variety of laws that encourage social economy. One of these laws is the Law 12.305 / 2012 which states that by the year 2014 all municipalities in Brazil have a Municipal Plan for Solid Waste (Waste Recycling) and the municipalities, to receive federal help must allocate the solid residue for solid waste recycling cooperatives. This law converges two public policies (environment and job) in a single state action, innovating on the legal, public policy in Brazil. 2. The Constitutional Treatment of Cooperatives in Brazil Leaving for direct analysis of the proposed theme, it should emphasize the clear developmental character, economic conception of the term, the Brazilian Federal Constitution adopted with the intention of achieving its corporate objectives. This caveat is necessary therefore influence mainly on the economic and social order of the legal structure given to the Brazilian economy, having impacts on parental cooperative. The Constitution addresses at various times cooperativism3, It is basically structured on three points, the non-intervention principle, the appropriate tax treatment for the Cooperative Act and the Public Policy of fostering the cooperative. 3 “O cooperativismo é um ponto polêmico dentro das Teorias Socialistas. Alguns, como Marx, criticam veementemente o cooperativismo afirmando que os mesmos são micro reproduções do sistema econômico capitalista, devendo, portanto, serem refutadas quaisquer iniciativas cooperativistas. Outros se posicionam no outro extremo, afirmando que o cooperativismo é o ápice do meio de produção socialista, meio no qual os próprios trabalhadores se organizam diretamente organizando a produção sem a finalidade de lucro. Existe ainda a posição intermediária na qual o cooperativismo seria uma fase intermediária demonstrando a contradição do próprio sistema produtivo capitalista que permitiria a organização dos trabalhadores dentro do próprio sistema capitalista. A estrutura jurídica brasileira nos leva por sua vez a nos filiarmos na terceira opção, qual seja, o cooperativismo demonstra a falha do sistema produtivo capitalista. Isto porque, a cooperativa é uma forma de organização societária híbrida, que possui organização voltada para a produção de bens ou serviços de forma competitiva no mercado, isto é, em concorrência com demais empresas, porém, há The first contact between the Constitution and the cooperative system, occurs right in Article 5º, inciso XVIII4, which provides for the principle of state non-intervention, so vetoing a ban on cooperatives and associations since legally constituted, preventing also after the constitution, any means of intervention and state control. Such constitutional guarantee of non-intervention was a direct blow to the interventionist policy of the military dictatorship that held the control and intervention in the cooperative movement through the linkage of cooperatives to the OCB - Organization of Brazilian Cooperatives, and the CNC - National Council of Cooperatives, organ under the Ministry of Agriculture. The non-intervention principle currently still meets with resistance in the field of credit unions, which still are susceptible to rigid intervention and inspection of the Central Bank of Brazil, which is done through administrative resolutions. The second constitutional pillar of the cooperative, is found in Article 146, inciso III, alínea “c”5, which states the need, in the form of a supplementary law, to establish general rules on tax matters on the appropriate treatment to the Cooperative Act, thus aiming to benefit cooperatives. The issue of such supplementary law regulating what constitutes Cooperative Act, and its proper tax treatment, remains in albis, depending on the will of Congress. o diferencial da gestão democrática do empreendimento.” In MENEZES, Daniel Francisco Nagao. Cooperativismo: Na Espera da Regulação. Revista Crítica do Direito. Vol. 23. in www.criticadodireito.com.br. Acessado em 15/04/15. 4 XVIII - a criação de associações e, na forma da lei, a de cooperativas independem de autorização, sendo vedada a interferência estatal em seu funcionamento; 5 Art. 146. Cabe à lei complementar: I - dispor sobre conflitos de competência, em matéria tributária, entre a União, os Estados, o Distrito Federal e os Municípios; II - regular as limitações constitucionais ao poder de tributar; III - estabelecer normas gerais em matéria de legislação tributária, especialmente sobre: a) definição de tributos e de suas espécies, bem como, em relação aos impostos discriminados nesta Constituição, a dos respectivos fatos geradores, bases de cálculo e contribuintes; b) obrigação, lançamento, crédito, prescrição e decadência tributários; c) adequado tratamento tributário ao ato cooperativo praticado pelas sociedades cooperativas. d) definição de tratamento diferenciado e favorecido para as microempresas e para as empresas de pequeno porte, inclusive regimes especiais ou simplificados no caso do imposto previsto no art. 155, II, das contribuições previstas no art. 195, I e §§ 12 e 13, e da contribuição a que se refere o art. 239. Thus, to not remain the constitutional mandamus without proper effectiveness, we used the Institute of Constitutional Reception, where the New Legal Order which breaks all previous legal system, allows that some infra standards, since not contradictory the New Order to remain in effect, and being received are used by the new law. The Cooperative Act and its tax treatment, therefore, face a lack of regulation of the federal legislator, were welcomed by the Federal Constitution 1988 of the law 5764 of 1971, which addresses the matter. The third point where the Federal Constitution directly addresses the cooperatives are regarding the economic order. Article 1706 and following, the constitutional legislator regulates the general principles of economic order and, among them the cooperatives, and regulates the boundaries of economic stake in the economy. In that spirit, the constitutional legislature decided to allow only the direct exploitation of economic activity by the state in the event of relevant public interest or national security. Since not exploring directly to economic activity, was the State, will be entitled to regulate economic activity, which will be done by monitoring, incentive, planning, and public sector private, in order to meet the constitutional purpose narrated above. Within the regulatory function of economic activity, the State, as the second paragraph of Article 1747, by law, support and encourage cooperative activity and other forms of association. However, some considerations are necessary. 6 Art. 170. A ordem econômica, fundada na valorização do trabalho humano e na livre iniciativa, tem por fim assegurar a todos existência digna, conforme os ditames da justiça social, observados os seguintes princípios: I - soberania nacional; II - propriedade privada; III - função social da propriedade; IV - livre concorrência; V - defesa do consumidor; VI - defesa do meio ambiente, inclusive mediante tratamento diferenciado conforme o impacto ambiental dos produtos e serviços e de seus processos de elaboração e prestação; (Inciso com redação dada pela Emenda Constitucional nº 42, de 2003) VII - redução das desigualdades regionais e sociais; VIII - busca do pleno emprego; IX - tratamento favorecido para as empresas de pequeno porte constituídas sob as leis brasileiras e que tenham sua sede e administração no País. (Inciso com redação dada pela Emenda Constitucional nº 6, de 1995) Parágrafo único. É assegurado a todos o livre exercício de qualquer atividade econômica, independentemente de autorização de órgãos públicos, salvo nos casos previstos em lei. 7 Art. 174. Como agente normativo e regulador da atividade econômica, o Estado exercerá, na forma da lei, as funções de fiscalização, incentivo e planejamento, sendo este determinante para o setor público e indicativo para o setor privado. The Constitution which deals with the encouragement of cooperatives, is coated Law Reserve principle, ie the state policy of support for cooperatives and other associations will only be held with the approval of the law by the Legislature, regulating state stimulus. In turn, this incentive law has not yet been approved by Congress and is awaiting a vote two Senate Bills, one authored by Senator Eduardo Suplicy and another by Senator José Fogaça. This implies that the executive branch, responsible for the implementation of such public policy does not have any legal basis to carry out promotion policies and encouragement of cooperatives, leaving dependent on the manifestation of the Legislature. Thus, the state agencies within the executive branch, focused on the development of the cooperative, are totally disjointed and without any practical function within the legal structure of the state. In this sense, after the Federal Constitution of 1988, federal agencies in support of cooperatives, especially the CNC and the DENACOOP - National Department of Cooperatives under the Ministry of Agriculture, had emptied their functions, providing true "white elephants" of administration public. As regards Article 174, § 2 of the Brazilian Constitution, efficiency rule contained, it still depends on ordinary standard for its effectiveness, the country without any legal policy to encourage the cooperative is, leaving regulated through the mechanism of Reception constitutional, the modus operandi of Cooperative Societies, which remains the law 5,764 / 71 as amended by the Civil Code of 2002. This constitutional legal structure creates incentives to cooperatives in order to allow the development of such legal society, balancing the competitive disadvantage it has in relation to other types of companies, democratizing commercial companies, however, does not list cooperatives to any economic sector or policy public, except mining. 3. Public Policy Work and Income Generation From The Solid Waste Law § 1º A lei estabelecerá as diretrizes e bases do planejamento do desenvolvimento nacional equilibrado, o qual incorporará e compatibilizará os planos nacionais e regionais de desenvolvimento. § 2º A lei apoiará e estimulará o cooperativismo e outras formas de associativismo. § 3º O Estado favorecerá a organização da atividade garimpeira em cooperativas, levando em conta a proteção do meio ambiente e a promoção econômico-social dos garimpeiros. § 4º As cooperativas a que se refere o parágrafo anterior terão prioridade na autorização ou concessão para pesquisa e lavra dos recursos e jazidas de minerais garimpáveis, nas áreas onde estejam atuando, e naquelas fixadas de acordo com o art. 21, XXV, na forma da lei. Who comes to making the relationship between incentives for cooperatives and their use in public policies is the Solid Waste Law (Law 12,305 / 10) which requires the processing of solid waste will be done by recycling cooperatives. The law of solid waste in his art. 8 creates the National Policy on Solid Waste8, having as one of the principles, encouraging the creation of cooperatives (section IV) and collectors associations. In art. 18 solid waste law creates the competence of municipalities to create their local political management of solid waste and still allowed the formation of consortia of municipalities for the management of waste, forcing municipalities to implement the selective collection with the obligatory participation of cooperatives and associations of collectors, establishing in art. 19, XI that recycling cooperatives mentioned in the law are those composed of low-income people. 8 Art. 8º São instrumentos da Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos, entre outros: I – os planos de resíduos sólidos; II – os inventários e o sistema declaratório anual de resíduos sólidos; III – a coleta seletiva, os sistemas de logística reversa e outras ferramentas relacionadas à implementação da responsabilidade compartilhada pelo ciclo de vida dos produtos; IV – o incentivo à criação e ao desenvolvimento de cooperativas ou de outras formas de associação de catadores de materiais reutilizáveis e recicláveis; V – o monitoramento e a fiscalização ambiental, sanitária e agropecuária; VI – a cooperação técnica e financeira entre os setores público e privado para o desenvolvimento de pesquisas de novos produtos, métodos, processos e tecnologias de gestão, reciclagem, reutilização, tratamento de resíduos e disposição final ambientalmente adequada de rejeitos; VII – a pesquisa científica e tecnológica; VIII – a educação ambiental; IX – os incentivos fiscais, financeiros e creditícios; X – o Fundo Nacional do Meio Ambiente e o Fundo Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico; XI – o Sistema Nacional de Informações sobre a Gestão dos Resíduos Sólidos (Sinir); XII – o Sistema Nacional de Informações em Saneamento Básico (Sinisa); XIII – os conselhos de meio ambiente e, no que couber, os de saúde; XIV – os órgãos colegiados municipais destinados ao controle social dos serviços de resíduos sólidos urbanos; XV – o Cadastro Nacional de Operadores de Resíduos Perigosos; XVI – os acordos setoriais; XVII – no que couber, os instrumentos da Política Nacional de Meio Ambiente, entre eles: a) os padrões de qualidade ambiental; b) o Cadastro Técnico Federal de Atividades Potencialmente Poluidoras ou Utilizadoras de Recursos Ambientais; c) o Cadastro Técnico Federal de Atividades e Instrumentos de Defesa Ambiental; d) a avaliação de impactos ambientais; e) o Sistema Nacional de Informação sobre Meio Ambiente (Sinima); f) o licenciamento e a revisão de atividades efetiva ou potencialmente poluidoras; XVIII – os termos de compromisso e os termos de ajustamento de conduta; XIX – o incentivo à adoção de consórcios ou de outras formas de cooperação entre os entes federados, com vistas à elevação das escalas de aproveitamento e à redução dos custos envolvidos. He also created the Law 12.305 / 10, a new legal institute in Environmental Law, the so-called shared responsibility, which in drafting the article of the law “É instituída a responsabilidade compartilhada pelo ciclo de vida dos produtos, a ser implementada de forma individualizada e encadeada, abrangendo os fabricantes, importadores, distribuidores e comerciantes, os consumidores e os titulares dos serviços públicos de limpeza urbana e de manejo de resíduos sólidos, consoante as atribuições e procedimentos previstos nesta Seção”. With this article the environmental responsibility for solid waste generated is no longer exclusively the pubic power but also, after the law, the private sector especially the manufacturer, distributor and seller and it turns into solid waste. This responsibility includes the called reverse logistics in which the product placed on the market must have a product return mechanism, in particular packaging, must return to the manufacturer. This return of the packaging, which is now called solid waste, can be done by the private sector in partnership with cooperatives, pursuant to art. 33, § 3, III of the Solid Waste Law. Justifying the assertion woven above the Solid Waste Law is to give effect to the differential treatment to cooperatives, made by the Federal Constitution, it has to be, from such ordinary law can talk about creating a public policy involving generation employment and income associated with environmental protection. The Solid Waste Act requires the inclusion in the planning of management policies, the creation of recycling cooperatives, thus implying, in programs, especially at the local level, to generate employment and income. These work programs and income generation in turn, should occur with based on the creation of cooperatives made up of low-income population, as required by law. Thus, there is the structuring of generating employment in income programs made about corporate structures that act directly in the market, not depending on policies assists the Government, however, away from the purpose of the exclusive quest for profit 9 that permeates the other models of commercial companies. 9 “O lucro nas sociedades cooperativas, ou, como a lei disciplina, a sobra, poderá vir de duas formas para o cooperado: ou através de um lucro que a cooperativa tenha ao operar com terceiros (não cooperados), ou através da sobra da taxa de administração que o cooperado tenha adiantado, quando de sua operação com a In addition to the targeting of Law for the use of a democratic corporate model, but not care, there is an economic incentive for these projects attached to the destination of the material (solid waste), which, in theory, provide a source of raw material originates, guaranteeing a minimum income for cooperatives. This allocation, reiterating is made by both the public sector and the private sector, drawing praise the Federal Decree 5.940/06, even before the Solid Waste Law, as required every federal agency to allocate what it calls "recyclable material" for cooperatives popular. It happens that, not just targeting waste to cooperatives so that to reach the protection goals for the environment and generate jobs and income. For the success of Solid Waste Law is necessary concatenation of two factors: The existence of municipal programs (or regional) disposal of solid waste to cooperatives and; incubation programs of popular cooperatives of recycling. The first proposal seeks to create a collection of solid waste program involving both the home collection, the liability after the law 12.305/10 becomes both the government and the citizen; public agencies; of large solid waste and generators; companies that introduce products on the market that may turn into solid waste. This program, which is local or regional, should determine the fair and equitable distribution of waste collected for popular cooperatives, as well as the correct geographical distribution of the same. The existence of such municipal public policies is essential to the success of the Waste Act therefore prevents the processing of one (s) in specific cooperative, a fact compounded with the freedom of the private sector in solid waste intended for cooperative sees fit . Any economic imbalance between the unions involved prevents network performance thereof. The union of cooperatives, second, whether in the form of association or seconddegree cooperatives, is essential to the economic growth of the product sold. Such a union can cooperativa (também chamada de ato cooperativo).” In LOPES, Idevan César Rauen. Aspectos sobre a Legalização das Sociedades Cooperativas. In Os Caminhos do Cooperativismo. GEDIEL, José Antônio (org.). Curitiba: UFPR. 2001. p. 119. lead to elimination of intermediaries, called aparistas, the production chain, allowing direct sale of the product for a higher value than sold to aparista directly to industry. Despite the elimination of the intermediary, the union of cooperatives allows the increase in value of recycled products through the acquisition of more sophisticated equipment that allows the transformation of waste into a higher quality product. The second proposition is to the existence of incubation programs of recycling cooperatives. Law 12.305/10 is clear in the sense incentives the creation of new cooperatives made up of low-income population. This implies the initial organization of low-income population to the beginning of production activity resulting in the initial orientation not only the recycling activity but also, in the introduction to the sciences of management and business. The organization of production and business and administration of the popular cooperatives is known in the Solidarity Economy language such as incubation programs, covering all stages of the consolidation of a cooperative that ranges from the selection of people interested in forming cooperatives to full self-management and economic autonomy. These incubation programs can be made directly by the government or through NGOs of action that has the know-how of the incubation of cooperatives, as happens for example with the CRCA - Reference Center for Cooperatives and Associations in Campinas / SP, which now has one of the best in the country incubation programs and is responsible for solid waste policy around the city of Campinas and surrounding towns. 4. Mapping the Metropolitan Region of Campinas The metropolitan region of Campinas is a regional unit of the State of São Paulo created by the Complementary Law No. 870 State of June 19, 2000, being constituted by grouping 20 municipalities: American, Arthur Nogueira, Campinas, Cosmopolis, Engineer Coelho, Holambra , Hortolândia, Indaiatuba, Itatiba, Jaguariúna, Monte Mor, Morungaba, Nova Odessa, Paulinia, Quarry, Santa Barbara d'Oeste, Santo Antonio de Posse, Sumaré, Valinhos and Vineyard. It has an area of 3,792 km2 and a population of 2,976,433 inhabitants. The region has a diversified industrial production, particularly in dynamic sectors and high scientific / technological input, especially the municipalities of Campinas, Paulínia, Sumaré, Santa Barbara d'Oeste and Americana, which has resulted in increasing competitiveness gains in the markets internal and external. The RMC is served by an extensive road system and good quality, counting the main pillar of the Bandeirantes and Anhanguera highways linking the region to the capital and the interior of São Paulo, the SP-304 highway towards Piracicaba and Highway D. Pedro I doing the connection with the Paraíba Valley and the Dutra Highway toward Rio de Janeiro. The Metropolitan Region of Campinas has been conquering and consolidating in recent years, an important economic position in state and national scenarios. This area, adjacent to the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo, has a modern industrial park, diverse and composed of segments of complementary nature. It presents a very significant agricultural and agro-industrial structure, performing tertiary activities with a significant specialization. It stands still, the presence of innovative centers in the field of scientific and technological research, with the presence of important university centers of national and international reputation. The RMC has also attended by the Viracopos Airport, the second largest in the country, located in Campinas. Viracopos Airport in 2014 recorded a flow of loads of about 219 000 tonnes loaded and unloaded in international flights. With gross domestic product (GDP) (2014) R$ 109.9 billion, and GDP per capita of R $ 38,207.86, the region presents itself in a prominent position compared with GDP per capita of the State São Paulo, which is R$ 33,624.41 and that Brazil is R $ 22,645.86. The wealth produced in the metropolitan region of Campinas to turn into one of the richest regions of Brazil, with leading economic indicators. This allows that the twenty municipalities that comprise the RMC have the financial means to implement the provisions of the Solid Waste Law. The best economic power of the Metropolitan Region of Campinas in relation to other municipalities in Brazil allows basic sanitation issues are resolved, possessing all the municipalities of the MRC 100% of household waste collection. However, while the region has economic advantages over the rest of the country, regarding the implementation of public policies to support solidarity enterprises not as is required by law 12.305/12. As the table below, whose data were obtained from the Ministry of Environment, 10 municipalities do not have Solid Waste Management Plan. Of these 10 municipalities, 2 (Holambra and Morungaba) have fewer than 20,000 inhabitants and is not required to possess plan. Of the 8 municipalities that do not have plans, six are part of public consortia that organize the selective collection and proper disposal, leaving it two municipalities (10% of the total) who do not have plan as required by law. Following the data analysis, one municipality (Quarry) included solid waste management within the basic sanitation plan indeed permitted by law.

The output is the formation of public consortium. Public consortia (Law 11,107 / 05) allows that the political entities (Union, states and municipalities) join forces for the implementation of public policies of the entities involved. Consortia formed by several municipalities, is responsible for implementation of public policies for the collection and disposal of solid waste, however, are not required to hold social inclusion collectors programs. Only the municipality that has municipal politics is bound to include picker’s inclusion program, since public consortia, no. CONCLUSION Thus, there is a hybrid form10 of action of the state in the economy through the legal imposition of creating public policies to generate employment and income (which also have an environmental bias) as guarantees of income through work (disposal of solid waste), but 10 “Esta é uma solução que estabelece o novo modelo de Estado, descrevendo a hipótese de que deve abandonar a sua função de garante social, servindo no máximo como estimulador da livre iniciativa que de numa forma autogestinária, híbrida, na medida em que esta agrada tanto a setores de direito como os da nova esquerda ou, pelo menos, torna o ataque mais difícil pelo setor mais tradicional ou revolucionário desta última.” In VERAS NETO, Francisco Quintanilha. Cooperativismo: Nova Abordagem Sócio-Jurídica. Curitiba: Juruá. 2002. p. 179 taking these benefit from public policy to organize based on private corporate models (cooperatives) and act directly in the market with the free sale of recycled material. Yet this public policy that obliges municipalities to create organizational programs of recycled material collectors is emptied because municipalities choose to participate in regional projects (public consortia) to reduce operating costs of selective collection and recycling. The economic option for the reduction of spending on proper disposal of solid waste via consortium operation is delaying social inclusion through cooperative work.
