Coleta e destinação de pneus inservíveis: um estudo de caso na cidade de Santo Antônio de Jesus - Bahia.

Abstract

The huge amount of tires discarded in Brazil has attracted the attention of people in general, which has motivated the creation of laws that propose measures to mitigate their social and environmental impacts, as well as investments in research on possible reuse methods. Waste tires have been discarded outdoors in public roads, streams and rivers, and are often deposited in dumps, causing the proliferation of diseases such as dengue and leptospirosis, or the emission of toxic gases when burned in the open. This project aims to demonstrate the importance of the reverse logistics of waste tires, specifically in the city of SAJ - Santo Antônio de Jesus - Ba, as well as measuring the knowledge and awareness of rubber workers, resellers and final consumers of this city, on Conama Resolution No. 416, of September 30, 2009. In addition to an extensive literature review on the subject in question, a survey of the field was carried out, together with 383 final consumers, rubber workers and tire representatives .
