GESTÃO DE RESÍDUOS SÓLIDOS GERADOS DA CONSTRUÇÃO CIVIL

Abstract

In Brazil, the construction industry is regarded as one of the most significant contributors to economic and social development, yet it also generates considerable environmental impacts. The sector faces the challenge of reconciling productivity with sustainability. Population growth and increased consumption have led to greater waste generation, with estimates indicating that each person produces about 1 kg of waste per day. This article discusses the environmental impacts and challenges of managing construction waste, suggesting sustainable practices as a way to reduce environmental harm.
