Breve diagnóstico da destinação dos resíduos sólidos de frigoríficos de pescado do Vale do Rio Cuiabá

Abstract

The amount of residues produced daily have caused worries. In the state of Mato Grosso the fish slaughterhouses haven’t given the treatment and adequate destination to the productive process waste. Therefore, this work aims to realize a brief diagnosis about the final destinations of this kind of residues and propose practicable alternatives that agree with the Brazilian Waste Management Policy (PNRS). The interviews were made with producers from the Cuiabá river valley. The places visited didn’t give the adequate destination to the residues. The proprietors pointed the lack of economic viability as difficulty for an alternative system. Some alternatives have been studied and diverses works evaluate better solutions. Nevertheless, a joint work between the public administration and the fish farmers could lead to the implementation of technical and economically viable solutions to the producer, resulting in decreased impact on the environment.
