A gestão dos res��duos s��lidos no munic��pio de Bauru - SP

The destination of urban solid waste has became a very relevant theme because of the fast growth of cities. Bauru, a strategically located municipality, needs solutions for that problem. This research aims to show solid waste management in Bauru through a survey of the selective or regular garbage collection programs, treatment and final disposal of the waste. To do so, a questionnaire with 85 questions was used about solid waste management in the municipality and visits were made to the solid waste collection and disposal sites. Bauru has a bad selective collection program and very significant clandestine disposal of Hazardous waste. Furthermore, it doesnot treat hospital waste and has a deficient final disposal landfill.

Casa de ferreiro, espeto �� de pau: gestão de recursos h��dricos em duas organiza����es universit��rias

As water is essential for human survival and university organizations are responsible for spreading new knowledge and values through teaching, research and extension, this paper examined how two university organizations deal with a most precious resources, the Water, through its environmental management activities. To communicate the survey, this article is structured in three parts: the first is a brief reflection on environmental management in the university hospitals and the issue of water resources, then presents the methodological procedures for the conduct of research. Finally, we present the empirical evidence from case studies and discussions relevant to the research, followed by proposals on best practices in managing water resources that universities could adopt under review. It can be concluded that the possession of knowledge and cutting-edge research in several areas that universities do not provide an exemplary way to manage their water resources, ie, isolated and fragmented initiatives of Colleges ALPHA and BETA do not guarantee the environmental sustainability of campus, a As one can see that the units are not achieving academic success in the overflow of its knowledge and research for an effective internal environmental management, especially its water resources.

Diagn��stico e gestão dos res��duos gerados em aterro sanit��rio

The issue of environmental impacts to human health and the generation and disposal of solid waste has led to a change of paradigms for your face, highlighting the need for sustainable management of municipal solid waste (MSW). In this context, the expansion of landfills in Brazil in recent decades makes it necessary to sustainable management of waste generated by this type of enterprise, since its implementation. The aim of this study was to perform a diagnosis of the generation of waste in a landfill, in the expansion phase, and the alternatives adopted for its management. The qualitative diagnosis was made from observations on site and the wastes were classified and quantified from August 2011 to January 2012. In the diagnosis was considered the reduction, reuse and recycle, in that order. The results of this study showed that the residue of the greatest generation was PEAD geomembranes used in the waterproofing of the landfill, reaching 7 t, followed by PVC pipes, which reached 850 kg, both destined for recycling. The largest volume of wastewater generated corresponded to the leachate, reaching 11,500 m3 , which were sent for treatment

Treinamento ambiental:revis��o de literatura e sugest��es de pesquisa

This article aims to list the studies on environmental training published in the Scopus and Web of Science databases, to emphasize the publications most relevant according to the number of citations in other research, list the most prominent authors regarding the topic, the contexts studied and the researcher���s countries of origin. The concepts of environmental management and environmental training were reviewed. The systematic literature review is presented as the methodology, which has as its results the identification of the most influential papers studied in the area, the countries of origin of researchers and the relation between context and origin of the researcher, concluding that Brazil stands out in the study of the theme. That there is a small number of researchers studying different contexts in their country of origin and that partnership between researchers from different countries are required for studies in the area. The study presents as a limitation the still restricted access to some journals presenting articles on the topic, making it impossible to analyze them.

Avalia����o do desempenho ambiental e racionaliza����o do consumo de ��gua no segmento industrial de produ����o de bebidas

A regi��o Amaz��nica, detentora de grande potencial h��drico, tem atra��do ind��strias que promovem uso intensivo de ��gua, por isso, existe uma emerg��ncia por instrumentos que administrem essa tend��ncia. Neste trabalho foi diagnosticado o n��vel de racionaliza����o do uso da ��gua pelo setor industrial de produ����o de bebidas no estado do Par��, assim como as causas do comportamento do setor. As vari��veis dependentes (de comportamento) foram classificadas de acordo com quatro dimens��es (gestão ambiental, manejo da ��gua, manejo dos efluentes e medidas avan��adas de racionaliza����o) que comp��e o n��vel de racionaliza����o da gestão industrial h��drica. As vari��veis independentes foram associadas ao: porte, ramo, tipo de embalagem utilizada, disponibilidade h��drica e valor econ��mico da ��gua. Os dados levantados mostraram que a produ����o de bebidas tem uma grande pegada h��drica operacional total (acima de) 15.250 m³/dia, com as pequenas empresas apresentando o maior consumo relativo por unidade produzida (maior que 7 L de ��gua/L de bebida). O setor como um todo apresenta baixo n��vel de racionaliza����o do uso da ��gua, a dimens��o mais eficiente �� a de gerenciamento da ��gua; entretanto algumas medidas avan��adas podem ser visualizadas, especialmente a recircula����o da ��gua em torres de resfriamento. A an��lise das vari��veis de estudo demonstra que o n��vel de racionaliza����o �� dependente diretamente do ramo e do porte da empresa. Conclui-se que o consumo tende ao desperd��cio; em resposta a este quadro, devem ser priorizadas pol��ticas p��blicas voltadas para internaliza����o dos custos ambientais embutidos no processo.

Implementa����o de certifica����o ambiental Better Sugarcane Initiative-Bonsucro: estudo de caso no setor sucroenerg��tico

O setor sucroenerg��tico desempenha papel cada vez mais importante no contexto econ��mico brasileiro. A efici��ncia das empresas atuantes nesse setor passa obrigatoriamente por quest��es ligadas �� sustentabilidade das a����es desenvolvidas em seu processo produtivo, o que pode ser alavancado a partir de certifica����es ambientais alcan��adas pelas empresas. Assim, esta pesquisa teve como objetivo verificar a aplica����o de alguns dos principais princ��pios, crit��rios e indicadores para o atendimento do padr��o BSI-Bonsucro de certifica����o. Para tanto, este estudo descritivo de natureza qualitativa foi executado por meio de estudo de caso ��nico na empresa ALPHA, selecionada em fun����o de sua expressiva relev��ncia no setor sucroenerg��tico brasileiro. A pesquisa documental teve como principal foco o Relat��rio de Sustentabilidade da empresa analisada, elaborado a partir do padr��o Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). Como resultados observou-se que, dos seis crit��rios compreendidos em tr��s dos cinco princ��pios selecionados para estudo, somente o crit��rio referente ao n��vel m��ximo de di��xido de carbono emitido por tonelada de cana-de-a����car, ainda carece de a����es de melhoria para o efetivo cumprimento do que versa a certifica����o BSI-Bonsucro. Assim, o presente estudo demonstrou ser vi��vel que empresas que atuam no setor analisado passem a pautar suas a����es operacionais a partir da observ��ncia dos princ��pios, crit��rios e indicadores presentes na certifica����o BSI Bonsucro. A ado����o de tal posicionamento pode possibilitar ��s empresas atingirem melhores resultados a partir de estrat��gias voltadas ao atendimento das demandas relacionadas �� sustentabilidade do neg��cio.

An��lise do processo de avalia����o de desempenho ambiental face ��s diretrizes da ISO 14031: um estudo de caso

The present dissertation aims to analyze the evaluation process of environmental performance inside an organization from the building construction section of civil construction based on the NBR ISO 14031 guidelines, which provide orientation regarding the implementation of this project towards the internal organizational management. The theoretical research has addressed concepts and historical development of environmental management inside organizations, from the emergence of the first models to the strengthening of environmental management through the standardization of the Environmental Management System caused by the publication of ISO 14001. It has also addressed the evaluation of environmental performance, the NBR ISO 14031 (concepts, types of indicators of evaluation of environmental performance, the elaboration process of such indicators, as well as its use and evaluation by the high administration). The research has an applied character, with exploratory and descriptive goals, and a qualitative approach based on case study. The data collection will be made through questionnaires, interviews, and documental analysis. Through the present research project, one expects to learn the elements taken into consideration by the organization for the elaboration and selection of indicators; to identify which interested parties contribute in the aforementioned process; to discover which sources are taken into consideration by the organization while establishing its environmental performance goals; to learn how the different kinds of environmental indicators are handled by organizations on daily basis, considering the existence of interferences on the decision making process, whether or not the interested parties are integrated, and if there is an periodical evaluation of environmental performance and how it is handled. One also expects to identify the opportunities for improvement regarding the organization that is object of study.
