Proposta de minimização de resíduos em um abatedouro e frigorífico de suínos

Abstract

The swine industry is one of the agroindustrial sectors of great importance to Brazil, as it has a significant participation in the country's economy, with the south region being the highlight of production. However, it has a high generation of waste, which is harmful to the environment. Therewith, the need arises to seek an improvement in the structure of the production system, promoting the implementation of sustainable technologies and the achievement of a cleaner and economically viable production. One of these alternatives is the application of the waste minimization method in industrial processes. Therefore, the present study aims to elaborate and propose alternatives for the minimization of waste in the ham production sector of a swine slaughterhouse and refrigerator located in the west region of Paraná. After analyzing the ham production system, the residues generated by the process were obtained, prioritization was made, determining the priority residues. Thus, techniques were proposed, which were technically and economically viable, for the minimization of these residues and, that can be applied in the unit under study, providing benefits to the company, such as: reduction of expenses, improvements in the management and in the operation of production and financial return.
