Promovendo a sustentabilidade: uma solução para conectar empresas de reciclagem, autônomos e geradores de lixo

Abstract

Contemporary times face a significant increase in the production of urban waste, generating significant socio-environmental and economic challenges. The management of this waste threatens public health and the integrity of ecosystems. In this context, recycling stands out as a crucial process for transforming used materials into new products, promoting reuse. This study focuses on the analysis of waste management in Brazil, investigating applications and websites such as Cataki, Rota da Reciclagem and Google Maps, which aim to facilitate the location of collection points, with an emphasis on the importance of recycling. The development of an application is proposed to simplify the interaction between collection companies, collectors and individuals committed to conscious disposal. In the research phase, applications and websites were analyzed, including Cataki, Rota da Reciclagem and Google Maps, to understand how existing solutions. Additionally, we carried out survey research with 11 waste generators and 3 waste collectors to understand their needs and challenges. The proposal involves the development of a web application, approval for the dissemination of internet access in Brazil. The objective is to contribute to sustainability, simplifying interaction between companies committed to sustainable waste collection, collectors of recyclable materials and individuals engaged in conscious disposal.
