The aim of this investigation was to propose guidelines (based on Europeans strategies and
policies) in order to develop a plan for the industrial solid waste management in the South
Region of Rio de Janeiro State (Brazil), This region is an industrial area with significant waste
management problems. In order to properly manage waste production in this region, one
must know the amount, type, and composition of industrial wastes, as well as the management
practices of the industries involved. In this investigation, questionnaires and secondary data
analysis were used to collect infonnation regarding methods of waste management used in 30
large-size manufacturing industries that produce 5.5% of the total waste generated. It was
observed that paper and cardboard, plastic, wood, and metals were the most common types of
waste, mainly generated from packaging (69% of the total volume), as well as material used
in containers and for unwrapping products. Serious problems were observed, like industrial
solid waste being sent to municipal landfills and irregular dumping. An overview of the
current solid waste management situation gives rise to a brief discussion on waste-to-energy
opportunities and an integrated industrial waste management system for the region.
