Aspectos normativos a respeito de resíduos de construção civil: uma pesquisa exploratória da situação no Brasil e em Portugal
The civil construction is one of the first economic sectors that respond to favorable economic conditions of a country. This sector is an important agent of national development providing employment rate increase and the housing and infrastructure deficit reduction. However, this industry may also be characterized by the large volumes of solid wastes it generates, which are often disposed on irregular sites, causing several environmental impacts. The situation is further aggravated by the great need to use natural raw materials, which increases the environmental impact of the activities of this highly productive sector of the economy. In Brazil, as in Portugal, the construction industry promotes economic and social benefits. However, both countries face the same problem in relation to the amounts of waste that is therefore generated. This paper presents an exploratory study conducted by means of literature and documental research with the aim of presenting the general situation in both countries and making comparisons between their normative aspects in order to broaden the discussion about the situation and to identify characteristics, concerns and situations which are common to both nations. Considering the information that has been gathered, it is possible to verify that in the two countries there are laws and regulations to enforce and control the generation and disposal of the construction and demolition waste. Nevertheless, it should be pointed out that the discussion about this kind of waste has yet to reach full maturity.
