Determinação de áreas aptas para implantação de ecoestações no município de Ipojuca - PE

Abstract

Brazil presents several problems and challenges related to waste generation and management. It is estimated that the average annual generation per capita in the country is 380 kg, totaling generation that exceeds 77 million tons, with the largest percentage destined for landfills (ABRELPE, 2022). The disposal of large volumes of waste to landfills contributes to yet another environmental problem that is linked to the reduction in the useful life of landfills (Oliveira, 2024). This work aims to apply geoprocessing techniques to propose areas suitable for the implementation of ecostations in the municipality of Ipojuca-PE. The methods for developing this work consisted of: carrying out a diagnosis of waste management, mapping points of irregular waste disposal, proposing areas suitable for the installation of eco-stations, and studying technical and economic feasibility. The quantity for ecostation installations was three, and they are located in places where there are a greater number of irregular solid waste disposal points. A proposal was also made for suitable locations for the implementation of Voluntary Delivery Points (PEV), totaling 36 distributed across the three existing districts in the municipality. To carry out the technical feasibility, NBR 15,112 of 2004 was used, which contains the implementation conditions and general conditions for the project, in addition to being based on decree 27,399 of 2013 of the city of Recife, which aims to regulate the city's eco-stations. The cost for installation and acquisition of equipment and operation was R$2,319,045.50 and R$39,334.80 respectively, for the 3 estimated ecostations. In this way, the present work presents ecostations as a viable strategy to mitigate problems related to the disposal and irregular disposal of waste in a way that promotes the separation and correct destination of waste
