SOLIDARY SELECTIVE COLLECTION PROGRAM: ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION INSTRUMENTS IN THE QUALI-QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF RECYCLABLE MATERIALS COLLECTED IN A HEI IN THE BRAZILIAN AMAZON
The generation of solid waste and its environmentally correct final disposal have been some of the biggest challenges currently faced in the world and has led to the creation of new public policies to improve waste management. In Brazil the Decree No. 5940/2006 stands out, which establishes the implementation of the program Solidary Selective Collection in federal public institutions. In the University City Prof. José da Silveira Netto - Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPA), the University City Prefecture is responsible for the program and forwards the recyclable materials collected from the Voluntary Delivery Places (VLP) of the institution to associations and cooperatives of collectors of recyclable materials from the Metropolitan Region of Belém. The objective of this study was to quali-quantitatively evaluate the recyclable materials contained in the UFPA's LEV in the years 2015, 2018 and 2019; to analyze the results of environmental education actions developed in this period; and to estimate the gross value with its possible commercialization. The results revealed that the portion of paper/cardboard was the most significant in terms of quantity in relation to the other recyclable materials. The estimated gross value for the commercialization of three categories of recyclable material (paper/paperboard, plastic and metal), by the associations and cooperatives in 2019, was almost R$ 30,000.00 (thirty thousand reais).
