Produção mais limpa: uma revisão do estudo e aplicação na indústria metal mecânica

Abstract

Currently, there is a concern with the issue of global sustainability. This concept has gained strength among industries in Brazil and the world. This concern has caused the industries to reevaluate their production process, including in the metal-mechanic sector. Many companies in this sector have applied the Cleaner Production methodology, which proposes preventive application of actions with an environmental strategy, in order to increase efficiency and reduce risks to society and the environment, minimize waste, reduce costs in search of gains competitiveness and the optimization of industrial processes. In this work is an analysis of case studies of several companies in the metal-mechanic sector that applied the Cleaner Production methodology, presenting the most common impacts found and which solutions are used in the processes in search of improvement in industries, environmental protection and economic benefits, in addition, it was possible to analyze at which level of the methodology most used today.
