National Solid Waste Policy. Effectiveness. Environment. Recycle

This research aims to analyze the situation of the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS) with the norms and guidelines for the recycling activities of civil construction waste, established in the country through Law 12.305/2010. The solid waste recycling policy, within only a decade, has been changing, modernizing and increasingly expanding its space in construction companies. Additionally, the increase in environmental pollution and its consequences has led society to reposition itself on the subject. The excessive generation of waste and its irregular disposal in most Brazilian cities raises the questions: Have environmental protection laws and the PNRS been effective in preventing, managing and controlling the environment? One of the great challenges in choosing this topic is that we live in a society that still does not properly value recycling in its various species. Whether for cultural reasons or for lack of proper waste valuation. In this perspective, we sought to present the legal tools that guarantee development with sustainability, thus guaranteeing environmental preservation for present and future generations in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Constitution of 1988. As for its nature, this is a qualitative research, as for its objectives it is classified as exploratory and was carried out through bibliographic research, with researches carried out on specialized sites that were duly referred to at the end of this study
