Abstract

The waste generated by the construction sector have increased significantly, becoming an increasing problem, since most of this waste is deposited irregularly, not giving its proper disposal. Such waste, if not disposed properly contribute to environmental degradation, affecting not only the environment, but also, the quality of life. The gypsum products are among the wastes of this activity. Gypsum is a material that has many applications in the construction and generates significant volume of waste that most often is not reused, and usually has its final destination in landfills or dumps. The objective of this research was check on a construction site what kinds of alternatives are used for the management of waste gypsum in the building. The plaster can be recycled easily, being used in the production of cement. For the realization of recycling, there's the ATT - Transshipment Areas and Screening, in which they receive the plaster and other residues to prepare them for their industrial reuse. This way you can properly allocate the waste gypsum, without causing environmental damage and promoting better management of the construction site. Keywords: recycling of gypsum, management of construction site.
