Urban solid waste management and electricity generation: an analysis based on the integrated use of resources

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the proposal of integrated resource management (IRM) as a strategy for combining the collection of urban solid waste and the generation of complementary electric energy for productive transformations in the micro-region of Belém, Pará, Brazil. The methodology occurred through data collection from documental, bibliographical and field research; data processing took place through the construction of two Corpus: legislation and interview, with the help of the IRAMUTEQ software; and, the data analysis carried out took place through the technique of content analysis. The study concluded that GIR can contribute to a strategic combination between the collection of MSW and the generation of complementary electric energy for productive transformations in the micro-region of Belém-PA, through the restructuring of the traditional processes of management of local resources towards an important eco-development strategy and sustainable development, associated with the implementation of more assertive decisions for the implementation of a municipal consortium with the management of urban solid waste.
