The generation of waste from the construction industry, a reflection of population growth, changing habits and intense consumption, has been a cause of great concern to the world, since natural resources are finite and nature cannot absorb the exorbitant production of waste generated by society. In the city of Manaus, environmental problems, especially those related to construction, are no different from the rest of Brazil. The rubber boom at the end of the 19th century and the establishment of the Free Trade Zone in the 1960s were responsible for the growing population migration to the capital, thus boosting the growth of the construction industry and the generation of its waste. The aim of this book is to demonstrate the current scenario of construction waste management in the city of Manaus, from the perspective of sustainability, based on data collected from the Secretariats and public administration bodies, through bibliographies, as well as on construction sites, verifying the current situation of the final destination of construction waste, and what sustainability practices have been adopted.
