MAPEAMENTO DA CADEIA DE RESÍDUOS DA CONSTRUÇÃO CIVIL EM FORTALEZA

Abstract

Civil construction is one of the main causes of environmental impacts, not only due to the consumption of natural resources, but also due to the indiscriminate disposal of Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW). Thus, this study sought to map the flow of CDW processes from generation to reinsertion in the market or final disposal. The research methodology was based on semi-structured interviews with public and private sector representatives of the CDW management process. The research contributed to the characterization of the individual and collective activities of local companies involved in the reverse logistics of the CDW and of the stakeholders of the process, in addition to listing its main obstacles. It is concluded that there is a need for greater awareness of stakeholders (mainly construction companies), reduction of bureaucracy for the implementation of recycling plants, development of techniques to treat other materials such as gypsum and wood, incentives for producers and purchasers of recycled products, greater supervision of the sorting, transportation and final destination of the CDW. The study of CDW reverse logistics is necessary for the creation of new action plans, incentive policies, laws and application of sanctions that allow the advance of sustainable performance.
