Minimização de resíduos em uma empresa de lavanderia industrial têxtil

Abstract

This work was developed with the aim of developing measures to propose solutions to minimize impacts and waste generation in a company of the Industrial Textile Laundry type, considering that this type of industry generates a high degree of polluting agents due to the nature of its activities. activities. To create a good dynamic and improve the interpretation of the data, a mathematical method was applied to indicate the degree of need to minimize each type of waste generated during the processes. In order to make the mathematical model effective, it was necessary to carry out an “in loco” survey of all the processes that occur within the industry under study, in detail, as well as the quantity and types of inputs that are used in each of the processes. After collecting, organizing and analyzing the data, the residues with the greatest needfor minimization were defined, thus proposing some methods to minimize their generation. In the final stage of this research, one of the presented minimization methods was selected, and applied in practice in the processes carried out in the studycompany, with this it is possible to follow in a transparent and real way the results obtained with the selected waste minimization methods and applied. As a final result, it is observed that the methods applied within the processes of the company in question showed a reduction of up to 30% in the use of raw material and that the internal recycling of these products is considered an essential factor to obtainthese results, having as main focus of reduction the burlap intake contaminated with chemicals. A considerable reduction in the use of all waste insum and generation is noted throughsimple waste minimisation measures and short-term applicability It is concluded that itis possible to reduce or minimize waste through studies applied to specific processes of the company, taking into account different aspects of the processes, thus being possible to opt for the method of minimizing waste that best appropriates the procedures of the company under study, and that meets the needs according to the objectives and needs of the same, both in the financial and operational spheres.
