Inovação e tecnologia na indústria de beneficiamento de Denin do Agreste de Pernambuco: reuso de água para vantagem competitiva em lavanderias de jeans

Abstract

The present work aims to analyze the technological innovation of water reuse used in the processing activities of industrial Denin laundries in Toritama, located in the dry region of Pernambuco. To this end, it sought to characterize the form of water reuse in laundries and the advantages in companies were compared through the reduction of production costs. The methodology used was the understanding of quantitative and qualitative aspects. In this context, a sampling of jeans laundries was carried out, whose characteristic is based on the reuse of water. It was observed that the industrial laundries for processing clothes in Denin use water in high quantity as the main raw material. The implementation of water treatment and reuse activities emerged as a requirement of the Public Ministry. As a consequence, the introduction of this innovation had an impact on the reduction of production costs and, consequently, brought a competitive advantage, while benefiting the environment.
