Gestão de resíduos sólidos: avaliação das ações de prevenção e tratamento de resíduos sólidos de um empreendimento da construção civil à luz da produção mais limpa (P+L).

Abstract

The impacts to the environment have several sources and one of them are the companies, that through their productive processes extract resources and release residues in the environment. Through this perception, corporate environmental management has an increasingly higher importance within organizations that seek to meet environmental legislation, requirements of stakeholders and improve their image before society. In order to do so, the tool (P + L) can help them achieve environmental objectives and specifically in the construction sector, which impacts society in various ways from its supply chain to post-construction. In view of this reality, the objective of this study was to evaluate the solid waste prevention and treatment actions carried out in a Civil Construction project, in Campina Grande, in the light of Cleaner Production (P + L). Regarding the theoretical basis, the study of Gasi and Ferreira (2006) was used to analyze the company's environmental priorities and the CNTL / SENAI (2007) model to analyze the level of application of the Clean + Production project. Regarding the methodology, the research is characterized as a case study and descriptive. Being the company chosen in an intentional way, by type and accessibility. In relation to the results obtained it was verified that the actions carried out in the project are between second (minimize waste) and third priorities (internal recycling: reuse) of the tool and that the first priority of not generating (eliminating waste) is still not being met. It was also observed that the level of implantation of the Production + Clean actions in this enterprise is more focused on the reduction of waste at source than measures of End of Tube, being thus close to the main objective of the tool that is the non-generation of waste . Among the suggestions for improvement it was proposed that the company apply the tool (P + L) in the enterprise for improvements of the productive processes with respect to the generation of waste.
