Municipal government policies supporting recycling cooperatives at the start of the 1990s and in the first years of the current century have contributed to resemanticizing trash rather than improving the living conditions of the street scavengers in the city of Rio de Janeiro. This idea was based on multiple case studies conducted in three post-consumption recycling cooperatives which have resulted from such policies. Interviews were held with three municipal government managers and 66 scavengers between 2002 and 2004, during a period of field observation that varied from two to six months in each case. Following a Foucaultian analysis approach, in this thesis post-consumption trash is considered as a discursive production. For this reason, the discourses have been analyzed (through an archaeology and a genealogy) that animated this object as a target condition of public policies. Thus, problematization of the trash has been proposed ¿ characterized by the concomitance of discourses related to an environmental and economic issue surrounding it, which would have impacted the scavengers' work. This proposal made it possible to consider the conditions that enable the scavengers to participate in this discursive production concerning trash. Problematization means the social enhancement of trash (its resemantization as recyclable) and the government policies were an attempt to make the scavengers adapt to this conjuncture. The conditions have been investigated that enable the scavengers to participate in the construction process of the discourse concerning trash (preparation of the strategies), in consonance with public policies. According to the three organizations observed, the public managers assumed that it would be possible for the scavengers to participate in the rules of discourse on trash, when they achieved economy of scale and when they sold to middlemen. Through the findings of the studies, however, it has been concluded that the ways in which these three organizations were managed enabled the scavengers to accede to the rules of discourse regarding problematized trash only when they could control the strategies that allow them to attend what is set by such rules.

O uso de resíduos da indústria canavieira, em particular o bagaço, é tema que ganha relevância desde a retomada do mercado de biocombustíveis, quando a produção ampliou significativamente o volume daquela biomassa. Existem trabalhos que tratam de apresentar subprodutos e tecnologias alternativas para o uso deste material e um conjunto outro de trabalhos apresenta análise de cenários de viabilidade econômica destas tecnologias. O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar pela perspectiva econômico-financeira o melhor uso do bagaço da cana em um caso real. Para isto foi utilizada a Teoria das Opções Reais, como forma de analisar a melhor destinação do bagaço no horizonte de tempo de cinco anos, em uma dada a região, em um estudo de caso de uma usina sucroenergética com possibilidade de produção de etanol de segunda geração e/ou venda do bagaço in natura. Desta forma concluiu-se no caso apresentado que a produção de etanol de segunda geração em escala industrial não atrai investimentos e, sob esta ótica, deve ser postergada pois requer significativa aumento de produtividade por tonelada de matéria seca, além de substancial redução no custo das enzimas de fermentação. Ainda, foi possível também identificar a necessidade de políticas de incentivo para atração de investimentos.
