Análise e avaliação da gestão de resíduos da construção civil em Belo Horizonte

Abstract

This paper discusses, through a multidisciplinary approach, the process of waste management for construction (RCC), particularly in the city of Belo Horizonte. The study was developed from the analysis of existing legislation and statistical data on the subject. Accordingly, we proceeded to evaluate the effectiveness of management processes in construction waste in Belo Horizonte, the analysis of efficiency in the generation and utilization of these wastes and a study of alternatives for utilization. The volume of construction waste landed in Brazil in dumps or areas is of the order of 4.5 million tons, and the Southeast, where is Belo Horizonte, is responsible for approximately 3.5 million tons. The volume of RCC that is recycled in the country is of the order of only 900 000 tonnes, almost 100% in the Southeast. It was found that in the remaining regions of Brazil and the proper management of RCC are ignored today. Belo Horizonte stands for adopting a management model of these wastes quite advanced compared to other Brazilian cities, with the implementation of physical structures for disposal and recycling, calls Recycling Stations and Units Receiving Small Volumes, known as URPV's. But nevertheless, like all municipalities in Brazil, does not require a project management RCC even before the start of work, as determined by resolution of the National Council of the Environment - CONAMA. The survey also serves to check that greater efficiency in the management of RCC is directly linked to the question of the compatibility of projects, enabling a significant minimization of waste generation in the works, contributing to enlarge the character of sustainability of buildings.
