In Brazil, one of these challenges refers to the changes in consumption caused by the lockdowns, and the environmental impacts caused by new patterns of waste generation. Against this background, this paper investigates the changes in consumption and waste generation in Brazil during the COVID-19 pandemic. It provides a technical contribution to the topic by comparing the perception of survey respondents on the amount of household waste produced before and during the pandemic, and cross-checking these with information on current aspects of policymaking, the findings suggest that the amount of some specific types of household waste has noticeably increased, challenging even more the local waste management systems. The data instrument was validated by a pre-test, prior to deployment. According to the respondents, packaging (both plastic and paper\/cardboard) was the type of waste that reported the highest increase in generation during the lockdowns, which is in line with the results of increased consumption of food delivery within this period. The results also suggest that current waste management policies make Brazil ill-equipped to deal with one of the non-intended effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has severely impacted Latin America\u2019s largest country.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/su14138083","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,4]],"date-time":"2022-07-04T23:38:55Z","timestamp":1656977935000},"page":"8083","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Assessing the Connections between COVID-19 and Waste Management in Brazil"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1241-5225","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Walter","family":"Leal Filho","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Natural Sciences, Manchester Metropolitan University, Manchester M15 6BH, UK"},{"name":"European School of Sustainability Science and Research, Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, 21033 Hamburg, Germany"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4549-7685","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amanda Lange","family":"Salvia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Civil and Environmental Engineering, University of Passo Fundo, Campus I\u2013BR 285, S\u00e3o Jos\u00e9 99052-900, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2806-4247","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Arminda","family":"Pa\u00e7o","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NECE-UBI (Research Centre for Business Sciences), Universidade da Beira Interior, 6201-001 Covilha, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Celia","family":"Dias-Ferreira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"DCeT\u2014Department of Sciences and Technology, Universidade Aberta, 1269-001 Lisbon, Portugal"},{"name":"CEG\u2014Center of Global Studies, Universidade Aberta, 1269-001 Lisbon, Portugal"},{"name":"CERNAS\u2014Research Center for Natural Resources, Environment and Society, Institute Polytechnic of Coimbra, 3045-093 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Samara","family":"Neiva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in University Management, Federal University of Santa Catarina, Florian\u00f3polis 88040-900, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1633-6628","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Izabela Simon","family":"Rampasso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Ingenier\u00eda Industrial, Universidad Cat\u00f3lica del Norte, Antofagasta 1270709, Chile"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3163-6119","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rosley","family":"Anholon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering, University of Campinas, Campinas 13083-860, Brazil"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8353-6406","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Claudio Ruy Portela","family":"de Vasconcelos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Sustainability Engineering and Consumption, Federal University of Para\u00edba, Jo\u00e3o Pessoa 58051-900, Brazil"},{"name":"Algoritmi Research Centre, School of Engineering, University of Minho, 4710-057 Braga, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6782-3904","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jo\u00e3o Henrique Paulino Pires","family":"Eustachio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Economics, Business Administration and Accounting at Ribeir\u00e3o Preto, University of S\u00e3o Paulo, Sao Paulo 05508-900, Brazil"}]},{"given":"Charbel Jose Chiappetta","family":"Jabbour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Montpellier Research in Management, Montpellier Business School, 34000 Montpellier, France"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"51","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jobb.2020.10.001","article-title":"Combined measures to control the COVID-19 pandemic in Wuhan, Hubei, China: A narrative review","volume":"2","author":"Hasnain","year":"2020","journal-title":"J.
