Resíduos sólidos: o uso da gestão ambiental como ferramenta para o manejo adequado do lixo urbano

Abstract

Solid waste is conceptualized as any material, substance, object or good discarded as a result of human activities in society. The rejection of this residue does not mean that it has no value, but that it is no longer necessary for those who discarded it. However, there is a good chance that this residue will still be useful to others in its original or transformed form. This article focuses on a descriptive and exploratory literature review study. The data collection method was performed through digital platforms. This research aims to understand how environmental management is effective for the proper management of urban waste disposal. This study aims to analyze environmental management as a tool for the proper management of urban waste and to make society aware of the importance of solid waste and its proper management. This work has shown that as important as proper disposal and proper treatment is, there is a need to produce less and less waste and increasingly reuse the waste generated, reducing the high rate of waste, thus contributing to a more balanced and responsible society.
