Abstract

The Brazilian Constitution of 1988 guaranteed everyone a healthy and ecologically balanced environment. And for this it is necessary that any human activity, especially industrial, that interfere in the environment be controlled. Solid waste configures itself as a major component of the environmental impacts produced by industrial activities. For this reason, they need to be monitored and controlled throughout its production. The oil industry is classified as highly polluting, and one reason for this categorization is the generation of solid waste. This study aims at conducting an analysis of the National Solid Waste Policy in Brazil, published in 2010, and the adequacy of the oil industry as to its content. The methodology used was a literature review for a survey of the environmental legal framework applicable in this subject, and afterward environmental laws applied to the case were compared and analyzed for consistency and legality; finally, from the data explained in IBAMA’s Technical Note regarding the solid waste produced by the oil industry, omissions and inconsistencies were pointed to the current model of sustainable development adopted by the CF/88. Thus, we can see that an alignment is required within Brazilian standards, as well as meeting the requirements of the oil industry on the solid waste produced in this industrial activity.
