A Política Nacional De Resíduos Sólidos: Gerenciamento De Resíduos E Classificação
Summary
This paper reviews Brazil's National Solid Waste Policy, which established a framework for classifying and managing different categories of waste. The law requires environmentally sound disposal and promotes recycling, composting, and shared responsibility across the waste production chain.
The National Solid Waste Policy -PNRS (Law No. 12,305, of August 2, 2010) brought to the country a series of innovations for the management of solid waste. Solid waste is all materials that are no longer useful within a company's processes or that have reached the end of their useful life. According to law 12.305/10, this waste must be disposed of in an environmentally correct manner. Solid waste can be segregated and sent to various means of final disposal, such as composting, recycling, landfills, etc. Solid waste management is a set of planning, implementation and management procedures to reduce waste production and provide collection, storage, treatment, transport and adequate final destination for the waste generated. The National Solid Waste Plan is an instrument of the National Solid Waste Policy (Law N o . 12,305/2010) in Brazil. This plan deals with a set of guidelines, goals, strategies and actions established by the government to guide the management and sustainable management of solid waste in the country. The classification of waste in Brazil is standardized by NBR 10.004/2004, which characterized all types of waste as dangerous or non-hazardous, where hazardous waste is classified as class I waste and non-hazardous waste is classified as class II, these are subdivided into class II A, which are non-inert waste and class II B, which is inert waste. Knowing the waste classification criteria is essential for your company to carry out adequate waste management.
