This process is important today,because it turns what would or already in the garbage into new products, reducing waste thatwould be launched in nature, while saving raw materials, often from non-renewable resources andenergy (Araguaia, 2011). The research conducted through qualitative interview addressed to members of the laboratories of FEPAGRO / Headquarters, located in the city of Porto Alegre / RS,obtained as a result, when asked if there was some kind of recycling, 50% said yes, citing that asrecycling consists of disposable and recyclable waste, reuse of glass and plastic packaging andcardboard dry waste separation and organic, and the incorporation of the prepared solutions andmeans on disposal of organic waste for composting. And when asked about recycling all said theywere in favor, however, as to why it was noticed at the same time a diversity and similarities in theresponses regarding the perceived importance of recycling and these are: the preservation andprotection of health and environment, thus decreasing pollution and water contamination, soiland air, preservation of renewable and nonrenewable resources in addition to the wealth ofeconomic power of the institution and for the production of new packaging and improved the livesof individuals.
