Ecoparques: uma análise da viabilidade de implantação no Brasil

Abstract

The high generation of waste is an environmental problem that needs to be faced, given that poor management can cause serious damage to the environment. The search for alternatives for treating solid waste is essential. The objective of this work is to present an economic and environmental analysis of the implementation of Ecoparks in Brazil. To carry out the work, a bibliographical review and application of a questionnaire were used in the company and a field visit where the main advantages and disadvantages were listed and comments were made about the economic viability of these enterprises and the possibility of adapting sanitary landfills to the Ecopark model. The highlights of the advantages are the reduction in the mass of waste sent to landfill and the economic valorization of urban solid waste and the generation of biogas. The main disadvantage is the high implementation cost. It is concluded, therefore, that ecoparks are a way to advance waste management in Brazil, promoting the recovery and recycling of materials.
