1 Introduction
For the past few years, the population has begun to be more concerned about sustainability and the environment. Countries, becoming aware of the real problem the world
is facing, started to propose actions and agreements to improve this scenario in the
future (PWC, SELUR, ABLP 2010).
The quantity and the characterization of the waste generated in each country
may be related to its degree of industrialization (Magera 2003; Fé and Faria 2011;
Pinhel 2013), besides that, waste can be an important economic indicator from its
production and characteristics (Campos 2012). In Brazil this process is characterized
by an accelerated industrialization and a high level of migration in the middle of the
twentieth century. These migrations to urban centers together with the growth of the
economy, increased the consumption, generating a greater quantity of waste (PWC,
SELUR, ABLP 2010). The current scenario is a higher growth of waste generation
than population growth. According to IBGE (2012), the population grows on average
0.9% per year and Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is growing in a larger proportion,
from 2013 to 2014 grew by 2.9% (Abrelpe 2014). In addition, health infrastructure
in most cities is precarious and does not follow population growth (Meystre 2016).
