Separação, destinação e reciclagem de resíduos na construção civil: um estudo sobre adoção desta solução em Goiânia – Goiás

Abstract

One of the biggest challenges faced by civil construction is the large volume of waste from construction works and the devastation of natural resources available on the planet. Therefore, recycling is one of the best solutions to minimize environmental impacts, reusing materials and replacing natural raw materials with recycled ones. However, in Brazil, most of those responsible for the works are disinterested and neglectful of environmental issues. This work seeks to analyze the reasons that cause resistance from professionals to the use of waste separation and recycling. A documented study was carried out of the construction companies that adopt the ABNT ISO 14001/2015 - Environmental Management System - and construction companies that do not carry out waste separation, the work routine of the waste transport company and the operation of recycling plants, in order to observe the path of waste from its generation to its final destination. As a result of this study, there is a lack of information about the benefits of recycling, lack of skill training, lack of interest and self-indulgence of professionals.
