A large part of society considers that the garbage we generate is simply disposable, useless and worthless.
This thought is extremely harmful to the environment, because from it, we establish our relationship rule with what we produce and consume, that is, we act irresponsibly and negligently, whether in our companies, in our jobs or in our homes. .
The point is that a large part of the leftovers from our activities, whether industrial or domestic, are actually waste, which can be roughly classified as solid, dangerous and non-hazardous.
Based on the identification we make of this waste, we can then define which next step should be taken in relation to its destination.
In doing so, we will realize that a good part of this waste can be reused in different ways, whether in recycling, composting or even in the generation of energy, that is, very little can be classified as useless, which cannot be reused.
This care in the classification, separation and disposal of waste is the essence of the National Solid Waste Policy .
PNRS establishes rules and responsibilities for waste generators regarding the final destination of their waste, making them responsible for them, therefore, from the need to deal with this waste, solid waste management arises.
Solid Waste Management is a plan for managing waste generated in various human activities, in companies, in public agencies, in different health units and even in people’s homes.
Through Solid Waste Management, waste is classified, separated, transported correctly and disposed of.
If applied correctly, Solid Waste Management has the potential to reuse practically 90% of everything we now commonly call garbage.
Through its use, Solid Waste Management would quickly eliminate the so-called dumps, which are real public health problems throughout India.
The most important thing is to become aware as citizens and individuals so that, through our individual actions, we treat waste as it really deserves: as waste!
Only in this way will we comply with the PNRS not only by force of law, but also because of our commitment to the environment and to life, through our homes, our companies, our work and our government.
