Proposta de melhorias no gerenciamento de resíduos sólidos em uma indústria de papel e celulose a partir da aplicação da metodologia PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Act)
Abstract
The population is susceptible to several environmental problems that affect it, among them are
problems related to the management of solid waste. In 2015, the UN defined 17 SDGs
(Sustainable Development Goals) that are part of the so-called “Agenda 2030”, which deals
with a global pact signed at the United Nations Summit by 193 countries. The 17 objectives
break down into 169 goals aimed at overcoming the challenges of sustainable development in
the world, in order to promote sustainable global growth by the year 2030. Among the
established goals, the company, where the study will be carried out, adopted the goal of
“Landfill Zero” which aims not to send any type of waste to landfills by 2030. The pulp and
paper industry is a major generator of solid waste of various types and classes, waste that needs
management and final disposal. Some of the waste generated in the industry is already destined
for purposes other than landfills, such as incineration, recycling, re-refining, energy use, etc.,
but there are still opportunities that can and will be explored throughout this work. With that
in mind, the need arose to apply improvements regarding issues related to solid waste from the
factory, in order to have a more organized, safe and efficient management, so throughout this
project, the PDCA methodology was applied to identify the main gaps regarding to waste
management and improvements were proposed, mostly focused on internal operating
procedures and applications of improvements in waste storage locations within the factory,
based on process flow updates and improving the company's internal indicators aimed at
organization.
