The respective work is an investigation on practices of urban solid waste management in the city of Fernandes Pinheiro-PR, with the objective of understanding the problems related to the disposal and disposal of solid waste with the intention of promoting new projects that favor citizens with guidance and marketing of recyclable waste. Having projects in partnership with the population to solve the problems of incorrect waste disposal and encourage selective collection, reuse and recycling are guidelines provided for in the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS). Through the elaboration of a diagnosis of the situation of solid waste in the municipality and documentary analysis, among these, practices carried out by the public authorities were verified and the actions are being carried out, still potentiating good projects and proposing continuous improvement actions along with the adoption of new problem-oriented practices.

<p>The National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS) set out by the 12.305/2010 law defines changes regarding the collection and disposal of solid waste in Brazil, as well as the construction of landfills which should have brought the “public dumps”to an end until 2014. In order to understand the challenges faced by municipal governments in implementing the PNRS, interviews were conducted with eight mayors of the Paraiba Curimataú Region and two technicians from the Brazilian Institute of Environment. After analyzing the speeches, it was found that none of the municipality implemented the required landfill. Despite knowing about the Law 12.305, they pointed out the need to prioritize other claims and argued that the population should also be aware of the problem. Other challenges are related to the lack of their own existing resources and the need to receive financial and technical support from other government levels</p>

Methodological Aspects

This paper presents a quantitative methodology and two empirical case studies in Japan on modeling household solid waste (HSW) generation based on individual consumption expenditure (ICE) and local waste policy effects by using the coupled estimation model systems. Results indicate that ICE on food, miscellaneous commodities and services, as well as education, cultural, and recreation services are mainly associated with the changes of HSW generation and its components in Okayama and Otsu from 1980 to 2014. The effects of waste policy measures were also identified. HSW generation in Okayama will increase from 11.60 million tons (mt) in 1980 to 25.02 mt in 2025, and the corresponding figures are 6.82 mt (in 1980) and 14.00 mt (in 2025) in Otsu. To better manage local HSW, several possible and appropriate implications such as promoting a green lifestyle, extending producer responsibility, intensifying recycling and source separation, generalizing composting, and establishing flexible measures and sustainable policies should be adopted. Results of this study would facilitate consumer management of low waste generation and support an effective HSW policy design in the two case cities. Success could lead to emulation by other Japanese cities seeking to build and maintain a sustainable, eco-friendly society. Moreover, the methodologies of establishing coupled estimation model systems could be extended to China and other global cities.
