Resumo(s)
Education towards sustainability in Chemical Engineering (CEng) gave birth to awaste management
program (WMP) at Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto, in Portugal. It involves students,
teachers, and laboratory technicians. It aims to enhance the conscientiousness of the decision-maker
next generation for saving resources, managing wastes, and at same time to develop applied chemistry
understanding.
This program was implemented in 1999 and is responsible for management and fate of all inorganic
wastewater providing from training experimental activities of the CEng degree. An immediate reduction
of wastes at their source was first defined. Wastes were collected separately and were reused,
recycled or chemically treated, and after analytically controlled as legally imposed. Solids formed
after this program were recycled, purified or followed suitable elimination.
Global results point out environmental, pedagogical, and social benefits. Active participants are
aware, in agreement, and publicly committed to the WMP.
