This study aims to characterize and present an alternative for the treatment and disposal through a plan for managing solid waste generated by a manufacturing industry automotive adhesives and sealants. The methodology used allowed a characterization of the production process and waste generated in each sector. From the survey of waste was possible to quantify, classify, and define storage management policies and the preparation of a map with the points of packaging and temporary storage. The adequacy of the plan allowed the visualization of actions to reduce, minimize, reuse and recycling of waste together with the focus of training and access to the information management plan, in which through the internal procedures made possible the involvement and participation of all employees. Proper waste management enabled a significant reduction in company expenses and an awareness of environmental conservation among all managers and employees.
