The integrated management of solid waste must aim to reduce its impacts as much as possible..
The three axes of Integrated Solid Waste Management
- identify and classify the waste generated, according to current standards and legislation, through mapping at each stage of the production process.
- Condition, store and transport the residue, according to current standards and legislation, in order to reduce related environmental and occupational risks.
- Guide and raise awareness those involved in each step of the process, promoting recycling, treatment and, if necessary, disposing the tailings in accordance with the legislation, in order to provide behavioral change in relation to waste management.
The environment, the resources and organizations
In the entire chain of its production processes, it is necessary to use natural resources, also called inputs. There is not, at least in the current panorama, a no waste generation, or zero impacts in the middle. Thus, any company generates waste, and consequently, negative impacts on the environment.
The contamination is called negative impact, and constitutes costs to companies. The solution? Investment in improvement in the production process to avoid waste production. What is reflected in your risk management, environmental and social.
Some factors are key decision-making drivers for companies, the state, the local community, your suppliers, and the market itself.
Responses from organizations
There are two ways to reduction of waste generation, the first is the installation of technologies at the end of the process., the second, and the most efficient, is carrying out activities to prevent the generation of waste throughout the entire process.. And the benefits obtained with the reduction of waste generated are countless.
- Lower expenses with raw material, energy and waste disposal, with less dependence on waste treatment and final disposal facilities;
- Elimination of costs futures arising from depollution processes of buried waste or contamination caused by them;
- Less legal complications (which represent gains obtained by non-payment of environmental fines;
- Lower costs operational and maintenance;
- Less Risks current and future, to employees, public and environment.
