Impactos da elaboração de um Plano de Gerenciamento de Resíduos Sólidos (PGRS) de uma indústria de alimentos no município de Itumbiara-GO

Abstract

The cumulative damages caused by the constant and gradual disposition of pollutants in the environment have acted on laws related to solid waste, in order to adapt the management of these materials by the industries in Brazil. The objective of the present work was to elaborate a Solid Waste Management Plan (PGRS) in a vegetable oils and fats industry, located in Itumbiara, Goiás state. In this study, a macro analysis of the elements provided by Brazilian laws and regulations was performed, in addition to the items foreseen in the company's corporate requirements, in relation to the Plan, Do, Check, Act cycle (PDCA). The diagnosis of all sectors of the company was also carried out, as well as the old waste management system, from which it was possible to identify improvement opportunities in different stages of the system, specially at the control and traceability of the destined wastes, in addition to the quantitative data regarding the waste class I, II-A and II-B generated by the industrial unit. It was concluded that the implementation of a Solid Waste Management Plan (PGRS) for the oil and vegetable fats industry, through tools such as the Online Integrated Management System, Waste Management System excel worksheet (SGR) and the issuance of the Waste Transport Manifesto (MTR) for all the waste generated by the company, provided more appropriate conditions for the management, control, traceability, safety and planning. It was also possible to achieve an annual saving up to R$ 118.000,00 to the several stages that involve solid waste in the company, considering its infra-structural and operational characteristics.
