Gestão de resíduos de serrarias do Corede noroeste colonial

Abstract

The management of waste arising from the sawing or processing of wood is not always carried out correctly. Many companies in the industry find it difficult to give a final destination to these leftovers. Thus, in order to corroborate with new research in this area, the present study aims to analyze and understand the processes of use of residues from sawmills and lumber of COREDE Colonial Northwest of Rio Grande do Sul, composed of eleven municipalities, as well as to investigate carrying out the management of these wastes to reduce environmental impacts, and whether they have generated revenue for the owners of these companies. The study regarding the objectives/purpose is classified as exploratory and descriptive, with a qualitative and quantitative analysis approach. It was verified that the companies are familiar and that practically one hundred percent of them carry out the reuse of the residues generating some type of income for the company. Another aspect demonstrated in the study is related to the accumulation of trimming in the yards of companies, waste that for the most part does not have a consumer.
