Efficiency in the management of civil construction waste with the adoption of the integrated waste exchange system in Brazil

Abstract

Federal Law No. 12,305/2010, which provides for the National Solid Waste Policy, establishes that: "Civil Construction Waste (RCC) originates in the construction, renovation, repair and demolition of works, as well as those resulting from the preparation and excavation of land for construction". In addition, the legislation specifies the responsibility of waste generators for collection, transportation, transshipment, and final disposal, aiming at reduction, reuse, recycling, proper treatment of waste and a lower environmental impact. Currently, some industry federations have platforms that aim to promote and facilitate transactions related to the waste produced by their members, however, most operate in isolation. The National Confederation of Industries (CNI) has created a web platform developed for integrated operation that allows the adhesion of state industry federations. Of the twenty-seven federative units of Brazil (Federal District and twenty-six states), the states of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina and Mato Grosso do Sul (about 19% of the total) have isolated (non-integrated) Recyclables/Waste Bags and only the states of Paraná, Minas Gerais, Bahia, and Sergipe (15%) participate in the Integrated Waste Exchange System (SIBR) of the National Confederation of Industries. This research aims to present the positive points of the integrated system and propose the use of SIBR in all federative units of Brazil. Initially, it was found that the SIBR system, in addition to facilitating and enabling the execution of transactions such as the intermediation of the sale, exchange, and donation of materials / products, also provides the reduction of costs and time, because of the integration, also contributing to the correct disposal of waste and, consequently, to environmental preservation.
