Brazil needs to invest R$ 6.7 billion to adequately , collect all solid waste and end to this material in landfills . The data was released on Thursday ( 3 ) by the Brazilian Association of Public Cleaning and Special Waste ( ABRELPE ) .
According to the entity , if the country maintains the pace of investment in waste management recorded in the last decade , the universal proper final disposal should occur only in mid- 2060 . " At the current pace , we reach August 2014 with only 60% of waste collected with environmentally correct destination ," said Carlos Silva Filho , CEO of ABRELPE .
The National Policy on Solid Waste ( PNRS ) August 2014 provides for the end of the improper disposal of waste . ABRELPE data show that there are still about 30 million tons of municipal solid waste with inadequate destination in the country . " If we do not count with joint efforts and resources available to fund the adaptation process , we run the risk of seeing the main point of PNRS not leave the paper ," said the director .
According to the association , the application of 0.15 % of Gross Domestic Product ( GDP ) in the waste sector would be enough for the necessary adjustments . ( Source : Agency Brazil )
