ANÁLISE DA PRODUÇÃO, GESTÃO E GERENCIAMENTO DO LIXO URBANO NO BRASIL E SUAS REGIÕES (2009-2021)

Abstract

The growing generation of garbage is one of the problems that we find around the world. Discussing the Brazil, the amount of solid waste produced by the population grows exponentially. Talking about that, Calderoni (1998), and other authors, explain that is necessary to advance. In this subject to amplify the comprehension about the multiple dimensions of the problem. Having said that, the goal of this article was to analyze the evolution of the waste production, as well It's management in Brazil and regions between 2009 and 2021, covering the period before and after the implantation of the National Solid Waste Policy (Politica Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos), in 2010. Therefore, in the methodology, we resort to review of part of the bibliography that talks about the theme and the systematization and analysis of the secondary data of the annual statistical overviews produced by ABRELPE. In general, the results of the study evidence the situation of the garbage is far from being solved, especially when it is about the final destination. In 2021, over half of the counties of Brazil (50,7%), equivalent to 2.826 locations, still did the inappropriate destination of waste, and it was even more serious in the counties of the North Region (78,7%) and Northeast (71,3%), followed by Midwest (62,5%), Southeast (46,8%) and South (10,1%). Besides, It was found that the amount of waste produced continue to grow yearly In the 21st century and the reuse is below the established goals after the promulgation of the PNRS. Therefore, corroborating the finds of CGU (2023) and of Magera (2012), we can conclude that the recycling in Brazil is far from being universalized. These evidences signal the need of an expansion and improvement of government policies implemented, aiming to reduce the environmental impacts and amplify the socioeconomic benefits of the management and sustainable management of the urban waste in Brazilian territory.
