Construction waste in Brazil: a narrative review

Abstract

The final destination or disposition given to the RS, especially in developing countries, as in Brazil, is carried out in greater proportions in an inadequate manner, which corroborates, in the case of the DRC, in serious problems of an aesthetic, environmental and public health order. The objective is to quantitatively analyze the correlation between population growth and CPR generation, in a timeframe between 2017 and 2022 in Brazil. The method applied was deductive. The research was exploratory in nature and applied. Secondary data collection was carried out from access to the free data platform of the Panorama of Solid Waste in Brazil published by the Brazilian Association of Public Cleaning Companies and Special Residues - ABRELPE. A qualitative analysis of the population growth and CPR index collected between 2017 and 2021 was performed to verify the correlation between these variables in each Region of Brazil. The five Regions of Brazil presented population growth as a strong influence factor in the rate of CPR collected in the five years of this analysis, in addition, other factors are linked to this action such as: Processing losses related to inefficiency in the working methods and disqualified labor, besides losses in stocks: associated with inadequate storage of materials, as well as excess stock. There was a tendency of increasing collection of the DRC in the five Brazilian Regions. The North Region has the lowest per capita production of the five Brazilian regions, being influenced by the low economic influence of civil construction of this period. The population growth variable has a direct influence with the CPR collected in the five regions of the country.
