This book presents a detailed analysis of the challenges and opportunities in solid waste management in the Amazon, highlighting its ecological and social relevance. Growing urbanization and a lack of adequate infrastructure make waste management a critical issue for environmental preservation and public health. The book addresses the impact of improper disposal on local biodiversity and explores sustainable solutions, such as recycling, composting and the circular economy, to optimize waste collection, treatment and disposal. It also analyzes the National Solid Waste Policy and highlights shared responsibility in management. The book highlights the vital role of riverside communities, which, despite facing economic and structural limitations, have great potential to adopt sustainable local practices. It also emphasizes the importance of environmental education and awareness-raising to promote changes in behavior. Through practical examples and case studies, such as the Manaus-Careiro da Várzea stretch, the book offers innovative strategies for transforming communities and public policies, creating a sustainable future for the Amazon.
