Central de Reciclagem de Resíduos Sólidos da Construção Civil em Campo Grande, MS.

Abstract

The following work involves developing a project for a Central facility for receiving, transshipment, sorting, and recycling construction waste in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, considering that architecture plays an active role in sustainable development and the environmental concerns of Brazilian cities. In the capital, nearly 300,000 tons of construction waste were generated in 2021. Despite the existence of eco-points, landfills, and transshipment and tracking areas, the city lacks a specific location for the sorting and recycling of construction waste, which exacerbates environmental impacts, public health issues, and the quality of life due to improper disposal. Therefore, there is a need for a space in the city for the collection, sorting, recycling, and management of construction waste. Thus, the project aims to reconcile technical and sustainable solutions through appropriate architecture that will promote suitable spaces for the disposal, sorting, and recycling of construction waste. The methodology used was bibliographic research based on virtual databases, as well as physical and digital libraries of national and international higher education institutions, in addition to the official websites of environmental institutes, national associations, and legislative chambers: municipal, state, and federal. Thus, the project demonstrates how architecture plays an extremely relevant role in the environmental sphere of cities, as it is also the responsibility of professionals in the field to consider the waste generated by the execution of their projects and creations and to plan appropriate spaces for the management of these materials. In light of this, the proposed architectural solutions must adhere to the principle of sustainability, ensuring appropriate environments capable of positively impacting the sustainable growth and development of Campo Grande.
