Social entrepreneurship is the creation of a business aimed at solving social problems and making society more inclusive, without neglecting to seek the economic side. The process of segregation of recyclable material has a great potential of expansion in the city of Presidente Prudente, in the State of São Paulo. Thus, in this study, the proposal was to define social entrepreneurship and relate the formation and performance of a cooperative of workers in recyclable material, Cooperlix, located in the mentioned municipality. In order to do so, this study was constructed in the collection of data found in existing literature with the accomplishment of bibliographical research through books, magazines and academic research available in the collection of the Unoeste and FCT / Unesp library and in specific sites on the subject.It is concluded that social entrepreneurship and cooperativism are related due to their essences and similar effects, and both have as their starting point the social context and the formation of Cooperlix reiterates these facts.
