Harmonious and sustainable evolution of production

This document addresses scientific and technological developments in contrast to contemporary environmental challenges, focusing especially on the inadequate management of plastic waste. The issue of landfills is discussed, highlighting their role in the dispersion of microplastics and environmental contamination. The objective is to raise awareness of the need to rethink the use of plastic, especially in disposable products and cosmetics, whose waste contributes significantly to marine pollution. The methodology includes a bibliographic review of international regulations and events on sustainable development, as well as a national case study that illustrates the local impacts of solid waste.
