Abstract

The study was motivated by the need to adapt the Health Service Waste Management Plan (PGRSS) according to Anvisa Resolution 222/2018, aiming to reduce negative impacts on human health and the environment. The research evaluated whether the hospital's waste management process complies with current legislation and identified opportunities for improvement, using a case study methodology with empirical data collection and detailed analysis of waste segregation, storage, and treatment processes.
