Resumo
In recent years, the term sustainable development has been the main focus of several global plans,
international agreements, national policies and debates throughout the world. In Brazil it isn’t
different. In the last decades, Brazilian government has been committed to promote the sustainable
development in all of its territory by elaborating several management policies, among them, the
Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos – PNRS [National Solid Waste Policy]. However, during
the control process of these policies, meaning the execution of the established actions, a gap
between management levels is noticed. As an example, when it comes to solid waste, according to
data from Associação Brasileira de Empresas de Limpeza Pública e Resíduos Especiais - Abrelpe
[Brazilian Association of Public Cleaning and Special Waste Companies] from all of Brazilian
waste, 30% can be recycled, but only 3% actually are. Thus, the main goal of this work is knowing
the major causes of the gap between policy management levels, based on the PNRS. In order to do
that, a situation diagnostic on recyclable waste management at Universidade Federal de Goiás –
UFG/Regional Goiânia [Federal University of Goiás – UFG/Regional Goiânia] was performed to
identify the challenges faced by managers when applicating the selective waste collection in the
University. The methods used were bibliographic and documentary analysis, field research and
interviewing UFG-SUSTENTÁVEL program managers. The main results show that UFG’s
selective waste collection is in its early implementation steps, with punctual actions and so far, the
university doesn’t have its own program. Also, that the major challenges faced by the university
are: environmental awareness from all university community and high administration’s
commitment with the solid waste problem. With this work, it’s expected to contribute with UFG
in the creation of its own selective waste collection program and invest on environmental education,
aiming to raise awareness throughout the university of its environmental, ethical and social
commitment, bringing the sustainability matter to the university’s daily life through courses and
programs for the administrative technicians, professors and students, and also, continually conduct
awareness campaigns and events emphasizing environment education actions.
