“…One possibility that companies must contribute to waste infrastructure is the development of public-private partnerships, in which organizations invest in the facilities. However, the investing company has the right to explore the commercialization of recyclable materials and to undertake the production of energy based on waste ( Batista et al., 2021 ).…”

“…This makes SWM difficult to implement in areas where know-how and integrated skills are not available. Five pillars for implementing integrated and sustainable SWM can be defined: public policies, legal aspects, public-private partnership, disposal techniques, and energy recovery options [38]. To these pillars, social inclusion, awareness, and education should also be added.…”

This paper introduces the preliminary results of a development project focused on waste recycling and recovery in La Paz (Bolivia). The aim is to share best practices and to present real-world challenges when implementing appropriate waste management systems in developing countries. Environmental pollution, social inequality, lack of resources, and economic discrepancies are challenges still present in the 21st century, and a global call-for-action is needed to support sustainable development. The project “LaPazRecicla”, financed by the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation, provides perspectives that are potentially useful for policy-makers, waste management practitioners, and circular economy visionaries. The article aims to present the effective contribution of the practical actions to the local municipality, and to introduce the reason for why theoretical methods were employed to support the project. The outcomes provided two main indications: on one hand, cooperation among interdisciplinary actors and financial support can give the chance of improvement, suggesting international donors should continue in this direction; on the other, political instability, lack of local technical knowledge, and the absence of planning for a long-term period makes these actions unsuitable for tangible change. Global reflections are required in order to measure the potential benefits of small-scale projects, evaluating the time needed to move towards a sustainable future in low-income countries.

“…Composto por matéria biodegradável e não-biodegradável, os RSU, ou lixo urbano, a decorrer do nível de urbanização, renda per capita e padrão de consumo de cada país, pode variar sua composição gravimétrica (Gutierrez-Gomez et al, 2021). No Brasil estima-se que são produzidos diariamente cerca de 240 mil toneladas de RSU, onde 51,4% são compostos de matéria orgânica (Batista et al, 2021).…”

Com o crescimento da população e o aumento da demanda por energia surge a necessidade de desenvolvimento de fontes alternativas energia. O biometano, obtido a partir da purificação do biogás, que pode ser retirado da decomposição resíduos sólidos urbanos, presente em quantidades abundantes em muitas cidades brasileiras, tem se despontado como uma interessante alternativa a fim de complementar a utilização combustíveis gasosos, visto que o principal combustível utilizado atualmente é o gás natural, de origem fóssil e com impactos ambientais negativos em sua extração. Este trabalho promove a análise da viabilidade energética e ambiental da utilização do biometano para a injeção na rede de gás de natural, a partir de ferramentas de simulações computacionais. Os resultados obtidos, indicam que as emissões dos gases da combustão do gás natural e do biometano são praticamente equivalentes e, a diferença nos valores de temperatura de chama entre os combustíveis é de cerca de 7,1%. Assim, a inserção do biometano na rede de gás natural, além de não implicar no aumento de impactos ambientais também não promove perdas significativas nas características energéticas da mistura.
