Abstract

Given the time that modern society lives, the concern with economic growth is the subject of nations, it is important that we get reflections on environmental sustainability. For this reason the presented work proposes to study the factors of institutional capacity of municipalities, influence the adoption of more sustainable technologies in the treatment of municipal solid waste. The theoretical and political references are divided into subject areas that contribute to the study and support the National Solid Waste Policy, which was approved in 2010, after two decades of conduct between the executive and legislative powers. As this is a policy to address the problem of urban waste in Brazil is necessary to understand the discussions related to sustainable development, public policy environment, institutional capacity and economic viability of solid waste management in the country. The results reflect regional differences in factors such as Brazil and show the formation of municipal councils to adopt supportive environments landfill, plus adds this result to the private sector as the main manager of landfills in the country. The databases used were the SNIS 2010, PNSB 2009, IBGE- PNAD 2009, all available by federal agencies. The statistical model used is the logistic regression that best adapted to estimate the factors that contribute to the municipalities or not adopt the technology of landfills in municipal solid waste, as federal entities as municipalities are responsible for collecting and disposal of urban waste. It is noted that waste management in Brazil has evolved over the past six decades mainly in the treatment and collection of waste, but the adequacy of the requirements PNRS is subject to further investment in the sector and possible extension of time.
