Gerenciamento de resíduos em uma obra habitacional de médio porte na cidade de Uberlândia-MG: análise e proposição de melhorias

Abstract

The civil construction sector is an important booster of a country's economy, being responsible for high job creation. This also contributes to social improvements, mainly through the construction of housing and infrastructure projects. However, this sector is also a major consumer of raw materials, water and energy. With increasing environmental degradation, the need for a more sustainable culture in the sector has been perceived, in order to meet immediate needs without compromising future generations, according to one of the meanings of the term sustainability. Sustainable constructions aim to integrate good results with the preservation of the environment, in addition to guaranteeing economy and social well-being. The efficient management of waste generated in construction is of paramount importance in the context of sustainable construction, taking into account the large volume and the fact that a considerable part of this waste is not biodegradable. In view of these factors, the objective of this work is to analyze the management and management of civil construction waste in a medium-sized work in the city of Uberlândia - MG and to propose improvements in the sustainable scope based on environmental certifications. In the development of the work, a diagnosis of the situation of a company was made, with regard to the management of RCC, especially regarding the generation of waste and forms of control and management. After that, an evaluation was carried out and alternatives were presented to mitigate the identified problems. The results demonstrate that there is a need for a methodological review of waste management in the analyzed work and that the implementation of some measures such as water reuse, reverse logistics of paint cans and plastic recycling are viable and necessary from an economic, social and environmental point of view. This will also include benefits for the company such as better organization of the site, and, consequently, more productivity and less material costs.
