Uma análise comparativa da gestão de resíduos sólidos em Feira de Santana e Estocolmo

Abstract

Solid waste management plans are mandatory instruments in Brazil and also in member countries of the European Commission that support public management in planning. In the state of Bahia, the municipality of Feira de Santana presented the final version of its Municipal Plan for the Integrated Management of Solid Waste in August 2016, with a 20-year horizon. At the same time, the capital of Sweden announced its Waste Management Plan in 2017 with a 4-year horizon. The present study has as objective to know the management models proposed in two municipalities and to suggest improvements in the solid waste management of Feira de Santana, mirroring in the model of waste management in Stockholm. In order to do so, the comparative method and the documentary research for the analysis of the plans were used as support, defining as standards the waste typologies, textual approach, definition of collection systems, prediction of new platforms, the forecast of public consortia and social participation. As expected, it was possible to verify the contrast between solid waste management in Feira de Santana and Stockholm, in the first city, solid waste management treats them as waste, while in the second, solid waste is treated as an economic property. There were also aspects to be improved in the Feira de Santana plan in the area of economic sustainability and public participation.
