A Sustainable Territorial Challenge: The Irreversible Impressions on Waste and Residue Management from Functional Community Workshops 1 Global Journal of Science Frontier Research Volume XXI Issue VI Year 2021 33 ( H ) © 2021 Global Journals Version I environments, they can decorate the environment and are definitely ornament objects. They can be made of different heights, geometric shapes and sizes. The spread and sharing of knowledge can turn a recyclable material sorting space into workshops of leisure and art. ANCRESMAT is established in a neighbourhood where people live and work using recyclable materials. It is situated in an area where it is part of a preservation site, with reminiscent vegetation of the Atlantic forest. Some inhabitants from the area came to attend the workshop and felt immediately familiar with the space where they have lived for more than 25 years. Many stories were told by the people around the vases, one of which how the space originally looked like, in the past, when very few people lived in the area, thus showing the feeling of belonging the people felt for the space. VII. F inal C onsiderations Recycling main attribute is the reuse of waste, that is, this is an activity in which materials that are considered to be garbage or materials placed in a garbage bin are then sorted and processed in order to obtain their raw material to manufacture whole new products. Processed materials obtained at recycling enterprises have a higher cost than the original raw material, giving logistics the main job to economically analyse the shipping and storage of such products, resulting on the decrease of environmental harm. Logistics helps to establish the waste flow, resources and discarded goods, whether it is for the end of its lifecycle or for its reuse, be it in or out of its original manufacturing chain, then helping minimize the environmental impacts. Therefore, the logistics system is a corporate tool that aims to provide the technique on how to do it properly, providing the incentive of sustainability for the manufacturing chain. The immersion on this investigative action needs the help of a set of techniques that can make course training sessions possible, such as workshop agents, physical spaces, chat sessions, food, engagement and others. The training workshop methodology proved to be a successful way to observe and interact with the recyclable material collectors' lives. It provided us with a systemic view of the individual and group relation that, in addition to previous knowledge of the participants, manufactured another type of craft with other recyclable materials, for instance. Through the workshop sessions, the main objective is a challenge to all attendees. It is necessary to eliminate the idea that waste generated by people are useless, unusable, and impossible to be recovered. We could show that waste is not the end, but the rebirth of other opportunities, an attitude that we should all urgently uphold and stand for. The workshops were able to create an atmosphere of connections between people's emotional lives and the stories they told. Participants expressed their feelings, memories, situations they remembered from past experiences that brought them all together and the feeling of belonging to the place finally arose. The workshops caused, provoked and awakened a lot of exchange of knowledge and experience. Participants were able to make choices, chat and they felt as the main agents on the action of turning waste into products that can have their lifecycle extended. However, there is much of that to be done still in regards of sustainable local development. We understand the real need of amplifying the reach of ideas such as these, especially towards the care and attention to those involved, in this case the waste collectors and pickers, since they are the main agents in the development of an inclusive and sustainable system, through their work, as well as their feeling of belonging and opportunity to excel. Therefore, we understand local schools' role as they contribute with the spreading of the idea that trash can be reused, by establishing the selective collect, especially because schools hold the largest volume of waste, such as: paper and disposable packaging. Schools must get students to engage in the environment initiative, bringing awareness around this subject through creative activities so that students can get involved in the matter by making banners, taking part on theatre plays, trash recycling workshops, among other initiatives. Environmental Education can be inserted in schools' programs, in order to get students talking about it, so that they can raise awareness on this important issue through waste recycling and their reuse. The public policies for the recyclable waste collectors must take into consideration the guarantee of their working conditions and a dignified living standard for these workers. After all, these men and women are the responsible for the mitigation of pressure on those natural resource materials, since they are the ones who keep those materials from becoming useless trash, providing raw materials to the manufacturing business, which in turn decreases waste of materials and energy. Following that analysis, it is necessary to pass other different policies for the recyclable material collectors, in conjunction with the Solid Waste National Policy Department, with special attention in regards of education, so that these men and women can have their rights assured.
