Resumo(s)
A atual crise ambiental e social demanda uma reflexão a respeito do estado vigente do mundo. Nosso atual modelo econômico, caracterizado pelo uso indiscriminado de recursos, em um processo constante de extração, produção, uso e descarte, se mostrou ineficiente, trazendo consequências diretas à vida no planeta. A sociedade, ao passo que está interligada à natureza, tem o poder de modificá-la, gerando impactos que podem ser encarados como problemas sociais. A presente dissertação, partindo de uma perspectiva teórica da economia ecológica, buscará discorrer sobre a economia circular, apontando-a como um movimento econômico alternativo, que poderá vir a contribuir para a redução dos impactos ambientais e sociais, possibilitando um cenário de mais equidade e bem-estar social. Para tanto, a pesquisa iniciará com uma revisão de literatura sobre o desenvolvimento sustentável, para em seguida realizar um estado da arte da economia circular, a fim de mapear a produção científica sobre o tema em questão. Abordaremos também, com maior ênfase, a dimensão social da economia circular, e falaremos sobre os princípios da economia social e solidária, e da relação entre a economia social e solidária e a economia circular, bem como com a ecologia industrial, um dos principais sub conceitos da economia circular. No momento subsequente faremos uso da análise documental e análise de conteúdo para apresentar um projeto num contexto concreto, em Alagoas, Brasil, intitulado “Tijolo de Cana”, que utiliza cinzas do bagaço de cana-de-açúcar para desenvolver tijolos solo-cimento, propiciando a construção de moradias populares. Por fim, discorreremos a respeito do conjunto de potencialidades que despontam desse projeto, assim como os desafios a serem enfrentados no processo de solidificação e fortalecimento do movimento da economia circular, e da economia social e solidária.
The current environmental and social crisis demands a reflection on the present state of the world. Our current economic model, characterized by the indiscriminate use of resources, in a constant process of extraction, production, use and disposal, proved to be inefficient, bringing direct consequences to life on the planet. Society, while being interconnected with nature, has the power to change it, generating impacts that can be seen as social problems. This dissertation, starting from a theoretical perspective of ecological economics, will seek to discuss the circular economy, pointing to it as an alternative economic movement, which may contribute to the reduction of environmental and social impacts, enabling a scenario of more equity and social welfare. Therefore, the research will start with a literature review on sustainable development, and then carry out a state of art of circular economy, in order to map the scientific production on the subject in question. We will also address, with emphasis, the social dimension of the circular economy, and we will talk about the principles of the social and solidarity economy, and the relationship between the social and solidarity economy and the circular economy, as well as with industrial ecology, one of the main sub concepts of the circular economy. In the next moment, we will make use of document analysis and content analysis to present a project in a concrete context, in Alagoas, Brazil, entitled "Brick Cane", which uses ashes from sugarcane bagasse to develop soil-cement bricks, enabling the construction of affordable housing. Finally, we will discuss the set of potentials that emerge from this project, as well as the challenges to be faced in the process of solidifying and strengthening the circular economy movement, and the social and solidarity economy.
