The article presents studies aimed at the disposal of solid waste generated by the furniture industriesfrom small to medium Porte de Curitiba and Metropolitan Region of the State of Paraná. Theseindustries are big consumers of MDF and MDP reconstituted wood sheets in their productionprocesses, that is, in their furniture manufacturing, generating cumulative volumes of left over’sfrom these types of materials (solid waste). In order to find an adequate alternative in the use ofthese solid wastes, we present data collected through research of already developed cases andanalysis of new possibilities of use, from the perspective of the concepts of Reverse Logistics andCircular Economy. This study also proposes a viable economic alternative for the industry, reachingthe social economy, generating new employment opportunities and a source of income, in which itcan collaborate to reduce the volume of waste disposed of directly to the environment, designing alife cycle waste and transforming it into a circular economy.
