Abstract

An increasing number of Higher Education Institutions have endeavored to adhere to environmental legislation, both the National Solid Waste Policy (Federal Law nº 10.305/2010 and the Solid Federal Decree as well as Federal Decree No. 5.940/2006 that institutes waste separation recyclable materials and their destination to associations and / or cooperatives of recyclable material collectors. The five campuses of UFFS, that is, Chapecó (SC), Realeza and Laranjeiras do Sul (PR) and Cerro Largo and Erechim (RS) already have a Plan for Solid Waste Management (PGRS), the general objective of this research is to analyze how the actions proposed and carried out by UFFS comply with Federal Law No. 12,305/2010 and Federal Decree nº. 5,940 /2006 with respect to PNRS In order to carry out this research, a qualitative approach was used, with the case study technique, in order to expand the knowledge of the implementation of the PGRS with respect to: management solid waste, fostering cooperatives and the environmental, social and economic impacts of meeting the PNRS and Decree 5.940 / 2006 by UFFS in relation to local associations / cooperatives of recyclable and reusable material collectors. The results showed that UFFS is following what was proposed in the PNRS and in Federal Decree nº 5.940/2006, sending its recyclable waste to the Associations / Cooperatives of Collectors of Recyclable Materials, not directly, as recommended in the Decree, but with the support of the City Halls of each campus that transports and delivers materials to these Cooperatives. UFFS has a constant concern with environmental education, mainly because it is characterized as an educational institution. Making the university community aware of environmental actions and practices is a work that produces results and involves the university community. However, it is important that programs continue to strengthen the correct separation of waste, permanent environmental awareness and alternatives for reducing waste.
