Abstract

After the implementation of the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS), established by Federal Law No. 12,305/2010, public and private institutions, together with society, became part of the solid waste management chain, being mandatory to correctly dispose of all waste generated in their activities so that the disposal has minimal impact on the environment. The objective of this study was to perform the analysis of the gravimetric composition of solid waste generated in a restaurant, located in the city of Iguatemi, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. For this purpose, the waste generated in the establishment was collected for 06 days (from Monday to Saturday) and then the weighing and gravimetric composition of the waste was carried out. It was observed that the restaurant generates 79.10 kg of waste per week, of which 65.30 kg is organic matter, 6.80 kg is aluminum, 3.45 kg is paper, 2.15 kg is PET packaging, 0.75 kg is plastic, and 0.65 kg is bottle caps. Of the total waste, approximately 80% is wet waste (organic material) and 20% is dry waste (other materials). After analyzing the activities at the site and the current disposal of waste, one of the most viable solutions would be to raise awareness among the employees of this establishment about the importance of separating solid waste, initially prioritizing binary separation between dry and wet waste, with the purpose of facilitating the collection and final disposal of the same, as well as the composting of organic material.
