Abstract

This article aims to analyze the implementation of the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS) considering the instruments related to (i) solid waste plans, (ii) the National Solid Waste Management Information System (SINIR), and(iii) the goal of the environmentally adequate final disposal. The methodology used was document analysis. The results of the lack of a National Plan, partial existence of the State Plans (67%) and Municipal Plans (52%), shortcomings in SINIR and the existence of garbage dumps in 47% of Brazilian municipalities, showed that the advances in the axes of analysis are timid, denoting the inconsistency of planning with the implementation of the policy, the ineffectiveness of the PNRS in central aspects, and the need to review the federal government's action regarding the conduct of the PNRS and compliance with these criteria.
