National Solid Waste Policy

and its emerging challenges in Brazil

    The National Solid Waste Policy was approved in 2010 after almost 20 years of discussion in the National Congress. Its main goal is to decrease the total volume of waste produced nationally and increase the sustainability of solid waste management throughout the country. In order to do so, the policy establishes important instruments to deal with economic, social and environmental issues related to inappropriate waste management. The policy also promotes sustainable consumption patterns, as well as a more intense and efficient use of measures, such as recapturing, recycling, reusing and proper waste disposal systems.

    Although it is considered a groundbreaking policy, there are many concerns regarding its implementation due to the fact that it calls on states, regions and municipalities to expand local plans so that the policy can have full effect. In this sense, broad and integrated participation is demanded, not only from the government, but also from companies and consumers.
