Gestão de resíduos sólidos aplicado em um frigorífico de bovinos na cidade de Caçapava do Sul - RS

Abstract

As the population grows, the demand for consumer products increases and affects several sectors, including the meatpacking industry, a sector of great economic and social importance for Brazil, which, together with the increase in production, generates waste and the amount of polluted wastewater increases. In turn, it raised concerns that improper management of waste generated by industrial activities could lead to environmental risks. Therefore, norms such as ABNT NBR 10.004/2004, which defines the parameters for the classification of solid waste, are important tools that must be used to identify waste and its risks, in order to indicate the management measures that must be taken. This work aimed to understand how the management of solid waste from the production process and also from the auxiliary activities of a refrigerator occurs, and for that, ABNT NBR 10.004/2004 will be used. Thus, the objective of the research is to classify and segregate waste from the slaughterhouse in accordance with current legislation. Based on the results, it was possible to observe how challenging the implementation of appropriate practices in the generation of waste in Brazilian meatpacking industries and compliance with current laws is. In conclusion, the company is expected to adopt new practices and strategies in order to reduce the environmental impact of incorrect waste disposal.
