What is Proposal of a dynamic model to evaluate public policies for the circular economy: Scenarios applied to the municipality of Curitiba about?
In Brazil, the National Solid Waste Policy (NSWP) does not encourage incineration. Thus, all the waste generated is disposed of in landfills or recycled. However, currently, around 94% of all the waste generated in Brazil, which is the 4th largest waste generator in the world, is disposed of in landfills. The aim of the article was to develop a dynamic model that allows an analysis of different scenarios involving the tradeoff between investment in new landfills and policies to increase the recycling rate. The methodology used was the technical of analysis of dynamic systems to develop scenarios, following a survey of the data relative to Brazil. The use of dynamic systems enables an understanding of the changing relationships in the waste value chain over time. From the current situation, scenarios have also been developed for Curitiba for 40 years. Curitiba is one of the most important Brazilian capital cities in terms of public policies for waste management. Because it is a dynamic system, the base theory for understanding the relationship between the variables and agents was the circular economy. The variables and relationships of the model were validated specialists, followed
