Abstract

The building industry has occupied a prominent place in the Brazilian economy. However it may represent serious environmental impacts in the generation and improper disposal of waste from construction and demolition (C&D). The research aimed at evaluating the initiatives of public management of C&D in the county of Macaé, RJ. It was based on the empirical-phenomenological methods, with individual descriptions and causal connections obtained from stakeholders, literature and documentary reviews, as well as qualified interviews (key informants) with local managers and specialists. Preliminary results have  allowed for an assessment of the current situation of management, legal instruments, environmental licensing, and irregular disposal of C&D.
