Abstract

This article addresses sustainable waste management in the construction industry, focusing on reducing waste and reusing materials. The research was conducted at a construction company in Araguari, Minas Gerais, analyzing production processes, disposal, and reuse of waste such as blocks, tiles, and aggregates. Technical visits and interviews were conducted, which revealed the need for improvements, such as creating waste separation bays and valuing recyclable materials. The study also highlights the importance of organizational strategies that encourage proper disposal and the conscious use of resources. It is concluded that the sector has great potential to adopt more sustainable practices, reducing environmental impacts and increasing efficiency. These actions also contribute to competitiveness and innovation, aligning the construction industry with the demands of more balanced development
