Abstract

The process of Brazilian industrialization, population growth, consumption unrestrained by disposable products, as well as the lack of awareness of the population, generate a lot of waste, which has contributed significantly to the increase in the amount of solid waste generated, as well as Degradation of the environment. On this point, Law No. 12,305, of August 2, 2010, establishing a National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS), created an environmental policy that aims to mitigate such negative aspects of human action on the environment through Rules and regulations of conduct, by which it induces all public and private actors to take appropriate measures with regard to the environment. Therefore, the general objective of this work is to analyze how solid waste is disposed in the micro and small companies of the automotive sector in the municipality of Campo Belo/MG and if they are in compliance with the PNRS. For this, the research used a qualitative and quantitative approach, complemented by the case study technique. Through the application of a mixed questionnaire, it was verified the lack of knowledge and the non-adequacy of these companies to the PNRS, in addition, it was possible to identify that the selective collection of the municipality has not been carried out as established by this policy. Finally, it is well known that there is much to be done to ensure that the PNRS is effectively implemented by the various actors in society, and that the information in this work, although restricted to the municipality, together with other research carried out in this subject can provide indicators for That, if necessary, the PNRS may be reformulated, or even, so that there is greater control over the commitment of each agent in this process of environmentally adequate disposal of solid waste, as determined by the Law.
