Gerenciamento dos resíduos sólidos da construção civil: uma análise dos relatos de profissionais da construção no município de Salvador - BA

Abstract

The civil construction industry stands out for the significant exploration of natural resources and the excessive generation of Civil Construction Waste (CCW). This scenario leads to environmental impacts caused by the sector, which occur mainly due to the inadequate disposal of waste from its construction processes. Considering this, it is important to implement actions aimed at minimizing environmental impacts and increasing reuse and recycling of construction waste, when possible. To achieve this, it is necessary that the Management of Solid Civil Construction Waste be realized by the generators appropriately, following the rules in force. In this context, the work seeks to analyze the situation of the current scenario of this Management in Salvador - BA and the Metropolitan Region of Salvador (RMS), through a literature review and reports from professionals and companies that operate in the construction sector. Thus, this is a qualitative, empirical and exploratory research that counts with the application of methodological procedures that helped achieve the desired objectives, such as bibliographic research, data collection through interviews with civil engineering companies and application of a survey with professionals who work in the field. In view of the literature review carried out, it was found that there are gaps in the CCR management method implemented in the municipality of Salvador and that there are factors that limit the efficiency of the process. Furthermore, in the analysis of the reports from professionals and companies, it can be seen that the management of this waste is often not implemented correctly and that the environmental issue is not a priority for them. Thus, it is believed that the management and administration of solid waste from civil construction in Salvador city and RMS need to progress so that there is eco-efficiency in the procedures and production processes, resulting in the reduction of the negative impact on the environment. The study also presents some limiting factors that were identified based on the methodology applied, as well as suggestions for future work, aiming to stimulate the realization of further research involving this waste, aiming to minimize its generation and preservation of the environment.
