However, prior research on the subject IOP Publishing doi:10.1088/1755-1315/1211/1/012020 2 of waste projection was often limited to a single country and/or one specific field [9].

Waste projection is useful for determining the amount of waste that will be produced globally during the following few decades. The purpose of this study is to map the current state of global research and future development trends of waste projection studies. This study uses a bibliometric approach by analyzing 1,342 scientific publications over half a century based on the database of Scopus. The findings show that Resources Conservation and Recycling, the United States Environmental Protection Agency, and the United States were the most productive publication sources, research institutions, and countries in the study of waste projection. The research proposes a concept of WEWCAP research themes for waste projection research.

Municipal solid waste is a chronic problem in many developing countries like Brazil. Addressing the challenges of waste management requires robust frameworks for assessing the policies’ impacts. In this context, sustainability indicators may help decision-makers in adopting more efficient waste policies. The main goal of this study is to propose a framework for identifying and classifying indicators related to waste management within Brazilian public policies. This evaluation was based on extensive legislative surveys aimed at identifying goals, targets, and obligations outlined in these policies. A comprehensive Driving Force–Pressure–State–Impact–Response (DPSIR) framework was employed to identify and classify the usefulness of these indicators in the context of waste management. A total of 151 indicators were identified, alongside 283 waste goals, targets, and obligations, which were primarily related to municipal waste and were mostly sourced from plans, laws, presidential decrees, and collegiate resolutions. Within the framework, 66 indicators, mostly related to waste collection and recycling, were deemed useful, comprising 34 classified as Responses, 14 as Pressures, six as Driving Forces, four as States, two as Impacts, and six as Pressure/Responses. The challenges associated with the DPSIR framework and strategies to enhance the efficiency of public waste policies in Brazil are also discussed.

“…Um dos principais motivos para o aumento dos resíduos sólidos urbanos (RSU) é o crescimento populacional, que, somado ao desenvolvimento econômico dos países, promove um consumo maior de produtos por parte da população. Segundo o Banco Mundial a geração de resíduos global, no ano 2030, será de 2,59 bilhões de toneladas por ano, já no ano 2050, a quantidade pode chegar a 3,4 bilhões de toneladas (Campos et al, 2021;Kaza, Yao, Bhada-Tata & Van Woerden, 2018). Nessa conjuntura, a fim de se garantir uma sustentabilidade, dando uma destinação final ambientalmente adequada aos resíduos, surgem as tecnologias que os reaproveitam energeticamente, obtendo subprodutos que podem ser utilizados pela sociedade, como energia elétrica, vapor, biocombustíveis e cinzas para a construção civil.…”

O maior consumo de produtos implica em uma alta geração de resíduos. No Brasil, uma quantidade considerável de resíduos sólidos urbanos ainda é disposta de forma inadequada (lixões e aterro controlado). Em países desenvolvidos, muitas tecnologias são empregadas visando ao reaproveitamento energético dos resíduos sólidos urbanos, dessa forma, garante-se uma destinação adequada a eles, além de geração de energia elétrica. Para a região do Maciço de Baturité, localizada no estado do Ceará, estima-se uma geração crescente de resíduos, que poderiam ser reaproveitados energeticamente. Assim, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar um estudo do potencial energético e tratamento sustentável dos resíduos sólidos urbanos na macrorregião do Maciço de Baturité a fim de verificar a possibilidade da implantação de uma usina de recuperação energética de resíduos sólidos urbanos a partir do seu tratamento térmico. Os resultados obtidos a partir de dois cenários demonstraram que a implantação da usina é viável economicamente, a qual pode gerar de eletricidade, 21.384,10 kWh e 26.783,31 kWh. Quanto à análise da emissão de gases de efeito estufa, para os cenários analisados, o cenário de reciclagem e aterro sanitário apresentou a maior emissão líquida de gases de efeito estufa. Já para o cenário de reciclagem e tratamento térmico, as emissões foram menores. Considerando que 100% dos resíduos receberam tratamento térmico, o resultado líquido de emissões de gases de efeito estufa apresentou valor intermediário. Esse estudo pode fomentar o interesse dos gestores municipais em relação ao aproveitamento energético dos resíduos sólidos urbanos.
