ANALYSIS OF WASTE MANAGEMENT OF RUBBER PRODUCTION PROCESSES: An ANALYSIS IN THE FIELD- PLANTING BY SENDING TO A BENEFICIATION PLANT

Abstract

Discussions on environmental policies today are themes that have taken on great proportions in the most different media. One of the main items discussed is whether the planet will resist the consumerism of the general population, because this consumption has unconsciously generated the most diverse residues and the planet is already getting small for the disposal of this material. Thus, this article aims to discuss how the generation of waste from rubber production can harm not only the environment, but also the health of the workers of a rubber can. To support this discussion, several search tools were used to locate and organize the necessary information and to address the problem proposed in this article. Regarding the applied methodology, it was qualitative with research classified as exploratory and the procedures are classified as a survey, because a questionnaire was applied to the collaborators who participate in the production of rubber in the field. Among the results achieved, we highlight the amount of rubber syringes that never or rarely receive visits from plant technicians (38.7%). These data are impressive when related to the number of employees who never or rarely receive guidance for the proper disposal of pesticide packaging (74.2. It is concluded that the plant is a fundamental part of the workers' awareness process, so that they do not leave some residue that can harm the environment and their own health.
