“…In this bias, it is recommended the development of environmental education programs contextualized to the reality of Kuito, and supported by the Municipal Administration. Priority must be given to disseminating concepts on preventing the generation of MSW, associated with the sorting of recyclable materials and sending them to Luanda, in addition to the implementation of a municipal composting plant, with use in agriculture, a relevant economic activity in the Province of Bié, ( Cristóvão & Medeiros, 2022).…”

The management of municipal solid waste (MSW) on the African continent has faced challenges, due to the urbanization process, population and economic growth, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. In this context, the development of methodological approaches to assess the MSW management system assumes importance for the elaboration of policy guidelines. The objective of the present work was to develop and apply an index to evaluate the efficiency of the landfill, based on landscape analysis, in Kuito, capital of the Province of Bié, in Angola. The methodology included field visits, survey of the physical structures and operational conditions of the municipal landfill. These surveys made it possible to calculate a landfill efficiency index (IEA), based on landscape analysis, integrating elements from the physical, biotic and anthropic dimensions. The structural and operational conditions of the landfill indicated environmental, social and human health risks, as it was an open-air dump. Such conditions led to the closure of the landfill by the provincial authorities, based on the results indicated by the IEA.

“…The growth in the global generation of municipal solid waste (MSW) has increased the risks to human health, through pollution of soil, air, surface, and underground waters (Paes et al, 2014). This situation creates challenges for contemporary society, leading several governments to prioritize the hierarchy of MSW, highlighting the reduction of generation, treatment of waste and, as a last option, final disposal in landfills, as observed in Brazil (Paes et al, 2020b) and Angola (Cristóvão et al, 2022).…”

In the Amazon, solid waste collection is generally restricted to urban areas, excluding indigenous lands and rural areas. The objective of this research was to analyse the impact of collecting waste generated from indigenous lands on the municipal solid waste (MSW) management system, through life cycle assessment (LCA). A case study in the Humaitá city, state of Amazonas, Brazil, was based on life cycle inventory data, obtained from literature and field surveys, such as the waste gravimetry. The LCA followed the model proposed by ISO 14040 and 14044 and estimated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for three MSW management scenarios. The first, called Base Scenario (SB), corresponded to that practiced in Humaitá: collection of MSW from the urban area, logistic, and disposal in landfill. The second scenario (S1) corresponded to SB and the collection of waste generated on indigenous lands in that municipality. The third scenario (S2) corresponded to S1, excluding organic waste, which would be destined for composting on indigenous lands. The base scenario totalled an emission of 1,539 t CO2eq.year-1. Collecting solid waste from indigenous lands would increase these GHG emissions by 5.2% (S1) and 0.9% (S2) in relation to SB. The decentralized management of organic waste through composting associated with the separation and storage of dry waste would reduce the burning of waste in indigenous areas, their environmental vulnerability and promote the inclusion of these peoples.

“…The environmental impacts of the disposal of MSW in dumps and landfills include soil, surface and underground water, and air pollution, according to investigations of several authors, in municipalities of different Brazilian states, such as São Paulo (Medeiros et al, 2008a;Medeiros et al, 2008b;Beli et al, 2005), Minas Gerais (Medeiros et al, 2009a, Medeiros et al, 2009b, Amazonas (Oliveira & Medeiros, 2020), in addition to other countries, like Angola (Cristóvão et al, 2021). Such researches demonstrate the adverse effects on the environment of the disposal of residues in the soil, which highlights the importance of an MSW management plan in the municipal, state and federal scope (Paes et al, 2020a) A social actor with growing importance in Brazilian cities is the cooperatives that collect, sorting and send the waste generated in the municipality to recycling companies.…”
