Processos de reciclagem de resíduos da construção civil classe A na Grande São Paulo

Abstract

This research examines the recycling processes of class A construction waste in the greater São Paulo area, utilizing a methodology that involves gathering information from various sources such as theses, dissertations, articles published in journals, standards, regulations, case studies, comparative analyses between fixed and mobile plants, as well as technical visits and interviews. The identification and classification of the waste according to CONAMA Resolution Nº 307/2002 provided a detailed understanding of the materials involved in the recycling of construction waste. The technical visit and interview with the owner of a recycling plant offered a direct and detailed insight into the management process of Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW). Construction waste has significant social, economic, and environmental impacts, underscoring the importance of recycling for a more sustainable management. Both eco-points and transshipment areas present themselves as accessible alternatives, but an inclusive approach is crucial to serve all generators. Fixed and mobile plants have distinct advantages, but both require appropriate infrastructure and public support. Future research should focus on the quality of recycled materials, consumer perception, and the economic viability of construction waste recycling ventures
