But what is garbage anyway?
The definition of garbage has to do with everything that has no use for those who discard it.
On the other hand, what doesn't work for you can become raw material for a new product or process for someone else.
Thus, the term garbage is not used in the technical field and with all the knowledge and technology available today, a large part of what is generated in productive processes and the like can be somehow reused or recycled, being considered as WASTE and, when this is not possible , it is considered as REJECT.
UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WASTE AND WASTE
RESIDUE
Resíduo é tudo aquilo que sobra de determinado produto, seja sua embalagem, casca ou outra parte do processo, que pode ser reutilizado ou reciclado.
They have some economic value that can be used by industries, collectors' cooperatives and other components of the production chain.
Most food scraps, for example, can be composted and this makes them classified as waste.
REJECT
Waste is a specific type of disposal, one for which there is still no possibility of reuse or recycling.
Contaminated material, packaging labels, stickers, masking tape, leftover animal food and diapers are some examples of waste.

Internal action
O lixo é um dos grandes problemas ambientais urbanos e constitui uma preocupação ambiental mundial, uma vez que quando descartado sem tratamento pode contaminar o solo, o ar e a água, causar inundações, promover a proliferação de vetores de doenças, entre outros problemas.
With this problem in mind, we at LGV, together with ÁGORA ENGENHARIA, Soluções Ambientais e de Segurança do Trabalho , carried out an action to raise awareness about the relationship we have with waste.
The action addressed the differences between waste and rejects, recyclable and non-recyclable materials, organic materials and cigarette butts.
