Vácuo normativo relacionado ao sistema de gestão ambiental aplicado a condomínios edilícios

Abstract

With the population increase, there is therefore a higher production of solid waste. The city of Caruaru, in eight years, grew by about 15% (IBGE, 2010). One of the consequences of population growth, not only in the city of Caruaru but throughout the country, is the increase of vertical condominiums. Condominiums are large generators of solid waste, because they concentrate a large number of people in the same location. However, although they generate many residues, the condominiums also have the capacity to reuse these residues, provided that there is an environmental education by the administration of the condominium and the tenants. This work aims to analyze the environmental impacts caused by the growing solid waste production in the condominiums, as well as the environmental responsibility of the condominium, the residents and even the municipality.
