Análise dos aspectos sustentáveis no sistema de coprocessamento de resíduos sólidos em indústria cimenteira no Pará

Abstract

The excessive use of natural resources is one of the problems that currently impede the more sustainable development of companies, especially in large industries, which, due to their visibility, exhibit a better transparency of their processes with a polluting potential, whether for the government, the community where industry is located or its customers. Based on this, this study aims to analyze the sustainable aspects of the co-processing of solid waste carried out in the cement industry, Votorantim cimentos, located in Primavera, PA. The methodological procedures consisted of a bibliographical research, an interview with the environmental advisor of the company Votorantim cimentos and an interview with some residents of the city of Primavera, PA. The results indicated that Votorantim cimentos has several benefits in the use of co-processing in its kiln. Finally, it was understood that the waste co-processing system reduces carbon emissions by burning coke and contributes to reducing the cost of cement production.
