Resíduos Sólidos de Construção e Demolição (RCD): uma alternativa para diminuição do déficit habitacional e preservação do meio-ambiente

Abstract

The building construction activity generates negative impacts towards the environment. Within this productive chain, the several products created pollute in a significant manner and consume a great amount of natural sources and energy to the development of this activity. The size of the building construction activity can be proved by the huge quantity of generated residues that still constitute the masterpiece that can be recycled by the transformation of new products. The recycling of building construction residues is still in its beginning period in the country, however some cities already develop programs to recycle them again. The cities that adopt this practice have guaranteed an improvement of life quality. Their governors, promoters of actions of this nature, have obtained political gain, preserving a good image in front of the population. In this monograph it’s verified, since the beginning, the worry with the environmental causes, the quality of life in the cities, the use of these residues as an improvement of the present conditions in the communities, resulting in a proposal of a possible alternative to the decrease of the living deficit in the country. The structure of the sustainable activities has been constant in all and each productive chain that has an intention of obtaining levels of quality, without generating pollution, contributing to the ecological practice. And besides, the consumers must acquire knowledge that it’s necessary preserving the natural sources world with compatible well being that the man needs. Within this context, we intend to show an alternative for a new scenery to the urban environment, without the proliferation of trash that produces visual scenery pollution in the city. The truth is that the nobler destine to the building construction residues is the recycling, where they can be used again in the urbanization and in the building of houses.
