Proposta de ações orientadas à economia circular na gestão de resíduos da construção civil (RCC) no município de Bebedouro, São Paulo

Abstract

The growth of cities is a consequence of population expansion and creates the need for municipal governments to reconcile economic growth, environment and society. The construction waste is a global emergency as a consequence of the development of large urban centers, the impacts range from pollution to waste of natural resources. So, the objective of this study was to propose the implementation of practices, with a focus on the circular economy, in the management of civil construction in the city of Bebedouro - SP. The municipality of Bebedouro has a Transshipment Area for construction and pruning waste, the waste is accepted upon presentation of the Waste Transport Control, and for its issue service fees are included. The study was divided into the following steps: operational and sustainable diagnosis of the construction waste and the overflow area of the municipality, prospection of methods and techniques with a focus on the circular economy, and action plan. There is an increasing trend in the number of publications and patents related to circular economy, however, there is still a big gap in the municipal management of construction waste. The municipality presented some nonconformities regarding waste disposal in the overflow area, the most relevant being the permanence of waste. Among the possible causes for the nonconformities are the lack of human resources and deficiencies in the taxation of services provided by the municipality.
