In Brazil, the resolution nº 307/2002 of the National Environrnental Council (CONAMA) defines that the construction and demolition (C&D) wastes must have C&D waste landfills as their final destination. However, these landfills receive small quantities of wastes from other sources and non-inert wastes. This fact can be aggravated because the C&D wastes are disposed in these unlined landfil…
In Brazil, the disposal of solid residues largely occurs in open areas, without appropriate treatment, exceeding soils natural capacity of minimizing the charge of organic pollutants. The problem caused by incorrect disposal of solid waste is minimized by installing landfills, which reduce environmental impacts and the damages to communities and public health. Generated leachates in landf…
Waste pickers are important in solid waste management and the transition to a circular economy (CE), but they are not yet adequately recognized and remunerated. There are already efforts to change this situation, but there are failures in integration attempts to promote socio-productive inclusion and recycling, highlighting the need for research on the subject. Another gap identified is t…
The municipal solid waste treatment from an environmental point of view, remains a challenge. The final disposal in landfill is increasingly restricted to that fraction of waste that has already been pre-treated or that do not have reuse alternative.Restrictions to waste grounding, as noted in the National Policy on Solid Waste - Law 12,305 - 2 August 2010, have focused the adoption of te…
Brazil, like most developing countries, is still dealing with the consequences of inadequate management of waste. In this context, dumps and controlled landfills have become targets of surveillance and research, because they represent areas of potential contamination to water resources. In some municipalities, these landfills are located in soils vulnerable to infiltration of the leachate…
