Construção com materiais não biodegradáveis - melhoramento da rede de ecopontos em Maputo

Abstract

This study explores the use of non-biodegradable recycled materials - such as plastics, tires, and electronic waste - in the construction industry, demonstrating their technical, economic, and environmental feasibility. It begins by outlining the need for sustainable construction practices that minimize environmental impact and promote a circular economy. The work examines the properties of these waste materials and their potential applications in structural elements, coatings, and insulation, while highlighting both the benefits and challenges of recycling these resources. Additionally, the study proposes the establishment of a network of eco-points to enhance the collection and proper routing of waste, incorporating demographic analysis, institutional partnerships, and environmental education initiatives. The findings indicate that, with well-defined strategies and technological innovations, waste can be transformed into valuable resources, paving the way for a more sustainable and resilient construction sector.
