Abstract

The article discusses the use of infographics as an educational tool in environmental education, focused on solid waste management in a public military institution in Rio de Janeiro. Using a qualitative case study approach, the absence of adequate waste bins and improper waste disposal were identified. After surveying the main types of waste generated, an infographic was created using the Canva platform, aiming to guide and raise awareness among employees about proper waste separation. The results show that infographics contribute to the understanding of complex content and the development of environmental awareness.
