As with any activity, operations at logistics sites also consist of a source for solid waste generation, including organic and inorganic materials. GEOKLOCK developed an encompassing and objective plan for the environmental management of solid wastes for a major company in the logistics segment.

The purpose of this plan was to ensure the following tasks were carried out in a suitable manner:

• Collection;
• Containerization;
• Temporary storage;
• Transportation;
• Treatment;
• Adequate final disposal of the solid wastes generated by all of the company’s sites in Brazil;
• Minimization at the source, whenever possible.

Waste classification followed the applicable regulations in terms of:

• Handling;
• Means of selective collection;
• Temporary storage;
• Waste transportation that minimized environmental issues;
• Means to ensure the final destination of the waste materials complied with current Brazilian regulations.

GEOKLOCK also designed models for indicators for the management and planning of resources.
