Proposta de um Plano de Gerenciamento de Resíduos Sólidos (PGRS) em uma Indústria de Produtos Saneantes

Abstract

Considering the pandemic situation caused by Covid-19, the importance of cleaning agents was high, taking into account that the population started to increase domestic cleaning activities within their homes and with that increasing the demand for these products in the market. Consequently it generates an increase in their production. Keeping in mind the relevance of the sanitizing products industry for our society, it is extremely serious that it acts in a correct and adequate way to the norms and laws in force. An issue that similarly causes concern to society is the daily environmental pollution by many industries that do not prioritize the management of their waste, and with this arises the need to implement a system that addresses this demand. A solid waste management plan aims to easily identify the quantity, characteristic and origin of solid waste generated so that the necessary measures can be taken for its management, reduction and destination. This work aims to produce in a document a solid waste management plan for a sanitizing products company in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, through related laws in force. To achieve this objective, this work brings together bibliographical research together with field research in the study company for the creation of a control sheet for the management of all solid waste generated by the company. After a characterization of all waste generated in the study company, it was found that the highest weight waste was generated in the production line sector, where there was a production of 132,485 kg of uncontaminated plastic and this stands out for being a totally waste already recycled. The sector that generated the most waste within the company during the month of the study was the weighing and fractionation sector, totaling 195,721 Kg, the majority of which is hazardous waste where this waste is currently discarded in a totally inadequate manner. The solid waste management plan carried out facilitates the visualization of all waste generated, which helps the company to take the necessary measures to reduce, reuse or recycle materials.
