Selecitve collect: General description of solid urban waste in the pantanal upstream complex consortum

Abstract

 The civilizational crisis, the uncontrolled increase, and the inappropriate appropriation of nature have caused a considerable increase in the proportion of discarded materials. With the high number of disposals, especially of solid waste, the situation becomes increasingly complex and concerning. Integrated solid waste management, starting with selective collection, is a strategy to reduce the generated impacts. Given the above, the present research aimed to provide an overview of solid waste within the scope of the Consortium of the Pantanal Headwaters Complex (CCNP). The methodology presents an approach characterized as qualitative and descriptive. As research techniques, bibliographic research and documentary analysis of secondary data were used to evaluate the organization of public policies operated by the consortium and associations. From the data, it was possible to observe that the activities developed by the CCNP contribute significantly to society. Among the main findings, it is noted that the CCNP has sought to comply with the guidelines of the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS), even though it has not yet met all the proposed goals. Additionally, it is observed that there is a need for improvement in terms of environmental education processes, particularly in the implementation of critical environmental education, accompanied by the implementation of incubation processes and better development of social technology among the members of the consortium.
