Aplicação do modelo para Avaliação Ambiental em Sistemas Produtivos Industriais (MAASPI) em uma indústria de transformação de plástico do município de Chapecó - Santa Catarina

Abstract

The environmental theme is being discussed sharply in the organizational environment, once the consumers and society in general, are increasingly demanding and concerned about environmental issues. However, companies, especially industrial, seek to minimize the environmental impacts caused by its production processes through actions that combine the organization's economic interests with environmental concerns. Before that, this study has the main objective to analyze how is being held environmental management of the productive sector in Industry Beta from Chapecó/SC. For this, a qualitative and descriptive study was developed in order to apply the Model for Environmental Assessment in Industrial Production Systems (MAASPI) in the production sector of Beta Industry. Like data gathering techniques, realized interviews with the production manager and the quality supervisor of the company's researched, observations on the productive sector and documentary analysis. The results presented the main environmental interventions caused by the industry's production process, wherein are highlighted the interventions related to electricity consumption, location of plant, storage of scrap for separation and residues from the production process and generating CO². As the main proposals to minimize negative environmental impacts, presents the installation of translucent tiles in the productive sector, a study on energy efficiency, development of water and soil testing, construction of waste storage terminals and implementation of the raw material pre-separation. Can be also perceive the Beta Industry contributes positively to the environment, as performs the mechanical recycling of post-consumer polyethylene, a fact that decreases the sending of such material to landfill. However, the realization of the suggested adjustments allows for Industry Beta anticipate the legal environmental requirements, crave certifications and environmental seals and strengthen the environmentally correct image for the employees and society in general.
