Recycling is a fundamental strategy in solid waste management, which, among other benefits, provides pollution reduction, helps preserve natural resources, reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills, and enables the integration of recyclable material pickers into the workforce. This research aimed to demonstrate the recycling practices developed by a group of picker associations, identify the main recycled materials, and discuss the challenges and opportunities to enhance the activities carried out by recyclable material pickers. As a result of the research, it was identified that the work is challenging, as a significant portion of the collected materials were still mixed and contaminated, greatly impairing the sorting and recycling process. There was also a lack of infrastructure and equipment for recycling the materials, highlighting the need for greater recognition and appreciation of recyclable material pickers. The promotion and creation of public policies enabling appropriate waste disposal practices are urgent and crucial for a more sustainable world, and recycling associations should be recognized as key agents in waste collection, sorting, and disposal. Therefore, organizing these enterprises becomes pertinent. However, this research also contributes by providing results that can be used as hypotheses for further observations and applications regarding recycling activities in Brazil. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study addresses the sustainable use of solid waste by adding tire powder to Polyethylene to produce Thermoplastic Vulcanizates (TPVs). The nonreactive compatibilization technique improved the elastic modulus of LDPE. EVAcompatibilized samples showed less aging variation and higher impact resistance when combined with SBR. The results demonstrate the influence of molar mass on polymer flow behavior. The study contributes to the development of sustainable TPVs and improvements in physical-mechanical properties. The scientific initiation in TPV provided students with investigative and scientific skills, preparing them to face challenges in the job market. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present study gravitates around the circular economy, sustainability and the fashion industry approach, with the scenario of concern for the environmental impacts resulting from the phenomenon of fast fashion. The aim of this study was to realize a bibliometrics analysis of the Circular Economy, sustainability, and the fashion industry. The research procedure used was bibliometrics, and the appropriate proportions were saved, it allowed us to map the state of the art concerning the international scientific production on Circular Economy and the fashion industry in the bibliographic data platform Scopus. The sample consisted of 81 papers published between 2016 and 2021, and, for analysis, the Bibliometrix was used. Through the results obtained, it was found that there is a trend of increase in publications on the subject in recent years. The studies investigated are similar to understanding the Circular Economy as a breakthrough for the fashion industry. The publications are conditioned to an optimistic scenario, with research and innovations that allow the overcoming of the fast fashion model and the adoption of sustainable and circular practices. It is therefore essential that the issue is increasingly discussed, not only in the business environment; but especially with the consumer market and society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction. In Colombia during the last few years, recycling and environmental education have gained relevance. Educational campaigns have made visible the problem of not managing waste correctly and the effects caused by the lack of environmental education. Waste pickers have played a significant role in waste management, dedicating part of their time to training and educating others; however, there is still a lack of awareness in the communities about the social relevance of this profession. Objective. To understand the experiences of waste pickers and the impact of their trade on the communities' awareness of environmental care. Materials and methods. A qualitative study was conducted with the participation of eight waste pickers from the city of Cartagena. A semi-structured interview was used for data collection and the information was analyzed taking into account the grounded theory with the support of the NVivo program version 10.0. Results. Being a waste picker is considered a stable job and the main source of income; the participants express the support received from their families. For them, environmental education begins in homes and schools from childhood. Despite the improvement in the quality of life as a result of the profession, there are still social prejudices and little recognition. Conclusions. It is necessary to build an integral vision of the problem in which the government and different organizations participate in actions that promote environmental education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Multicriteria analysis methods have been used as tools to aid in the management of solid waste. The AnalyticHierarchy Process (AHP) consists of ordering decisions by hierarchical levels, which allow a global view of the relationships between levels, enabling the decision maker to understand the system as a whole. The objective was to define an area for the implementation of a solid waste sorting center in the municipality of Barra dos Coqueiros (SE), using the multicriteria method of Hierarchical Analysis. The procedure consisted of analyzing orbital images, documents related to municipal legislation and selecting three test areas. The criteria adopted in the AHP were the size of the area, distance from urban density, land ownership and proximity to the road system. The results showed that the best alternative for installing a triage center is area C, compared to areas A and B. The area is located on the Barra Atalaia Nova Highway, away from urban densification, has access to the road system, is domain city hall and has the largest area, a criterion considered of greater importance in the hierarchical analysis. It is recommended the use of the AHP method as a technical and managerial instrument, to direct, in an assertive way, the management of urban solid waste and to support the competent bodies in decision making.

Background: The quest for new energy sources is one of the most significant aspects of the renewed environmental consciousness that prevails in the contemporary world. The omnipresent use of fossil fuels and other harmful sources became one of the principal worries of the political and scientific communities, that since the past century started a campaign in search of alternatives. Aims: The aim of was to discuss contributions of energy recovery derived from MSU to the Brazilian panorama of electrical sources, adopting circular economy applied to a municipality. Methods: a revision of the literature was undertaken, to gather concepts and cases, taking circular economy, waste management and municipality as keywords. Results: The gathered papers present the prominence of circular economy in the intellectual scenario of environmental debate; also, a lack in previous treatment of collected residue, especially the sorting of materials by population, which impacts negatively the recovery. Discussion: The key aspects of the problem include promoting popular engagement in the cycle, identified as an important asset for a successful process. This includes the latin american scenario, that began to change recently with pilot plans implemented in some regions. The efficient way is to engage both industry and population in the process. Conclusions: One of the cleaners panoramas of energy sources, such facility could be installed in Brazil, following a south American upraising that already has Santa Rosa, Peru, and Barueri, in Brazil itself. An opportunity to develop regions and municipalities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In order to mitigate environmental impacts generated by both the ceramic industry and civil construction, this paper aims to analyze the technical feasibility of using ceramic material waste as an alternative material for the production of lining mortars. Thus, the methodology of this work was developed from the production of coating mortars with replacement of the natural fine aggregate by red ceramic waste in the proportions of 0%, 20%, 50% and 100% of fine aggregate, evaluating the performance in the fresh and hardened state of the mortars. In the fresh state, the substitutions reduced the spread and the mass density of the mortars. In the hardened state, the substitutions of 50% and 100% positively influenced both the compressive strength and flexural tensile strength, increasing significantly compared to the reference mortars.
