Brazil has a population of 183,9 million inhabitants, produces 228 413,0 tons of garbage per day, the amount of reciclvel garbage that is recouped, either in the selective collection either for catadores, it arrives only the 2,8 kg per year 2. These current data (not only of Brazil, but, also, in the possible dimensions the world-wide level) already United Nations worried the scientists, ambientalistas, the international community, as much that in 1992 that happened, in Rio De Janeiro, the Development and Conference on Environment, the call ECHO/92, it originated the document Agenda 21 in which started to be constructed the concept of sustainable consumption. From this perspective it was transferred to think it about recycling of residues. Currently, of the 5,564 cities (with approach population of 189.612.814 Brazilians) 405 cities only make selective collection, that is, only 7% of its totality. Demonstrating to the given indifference the question of basic sanitation for the majority of the Brazilian cities, beyond a blindness how much the social matter, therefore we know that in any place of the world garbage exists and, consequently, reciclvel material that will be able to benefit to the environment not only, but, also, opening for new ranks of work.

These data are confirmed from carried through research, in 2008, for the Cempre, association without lucrative ends. Observing in the streets the garbage spread and played in any way in the lixeiras exemplifica of forceful form how much the necessary Brazilian of ambient education and to be made responsible by the discarded residues, therefore this type of behavior is harmful in such a way for the environment how much for collective health. In countries of first world, for example, in France, as much the consumers how much industries are responsible for the final destination of the used products. E, when we speak in final destination of the product we are not in relating to the aterros or the lixes, but the form as we condition the garbage of our houses, companies, etc. To separate to the garbage its especificidade in accordance with we bring benefits for all e, over all, for the environment. Remembering that the main used to advantage materials as raw material for the recycling are: paper, plastics, metal and glass. 1 Given of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statisticians in December of 2007.
