The following research subscribes itself to the political debate which has as its The following research subscribes itself to the political debate which has as its themes the environment, the relation between the society and nature, the global socio-environmental challenges, and the overcoming of a historical contradiction between the capitalist economy and the lives of humans and other beings. The historical of the industrial and productive processes, which culminated with the neoliberal globalization (around forty years ago), lead the planet to an unprecedented level of devastation, a period during which, contradictorily, there was more talk about nature and the environmental challenge. As such, due to the tragic effects of the historical and social processes of the relation between the capitalist society and the environment – seen as a political, social, economic and cultural totality -, the following research has, as a general objective, to apprehend the mediations between the great and catastrophic environmental tendencies and the policy regarding solid waste in the city of Ponta Grossa/PR, given the current crisis regarding such waste in the city. The goal is to identify and comprehend the way in which this local policy does or does not incorporate the discourse for global rationality. The theoreticalmethodological nucleus of this research was built from the propositions of the worldsystems theory, which were developed through contributions of its main adepts, such as the American sociologist Immanuel Wallerstein; its proposer, Italian political economist Giovanni Arrighi; and the Brazilian thinkers Theotonio dos Santos and Carlos Walter Porto-Gonçalves, who, without abandoning the critical theory and the dialectic method of Marx and his classic categories such as mediation, contradiction, totality and history, promote the reconstruction of some of these categories and take up other new ones to form the central nucleus of their theoretical approach. For the treatment and analysis of the researched data, the qualitative method was utilized. As an instrument of research, the semi-structured interview was utilized, directed at the managers responsible for the policy regarding solid waste in the city of Ponta Grossa/PR. This research, however, inserts itself into a wider proposal within the environmental debate, discussing the rationalities that underlie the relations of the human being with nature, and understanding the environmental challenge not just as an economical and technological one, but, above all, as an ethical, social, and political challenge.
