ANÁLISE DO PROCESSO PRODUTIVO DE FILMES FLEXÍVEIS SOB A PERSPECTIVA DAS PRÁTICAS DE GESTÃO AMBIENTAL E PRODUÇÃO MAIS LIMPA

Abstract

This article addresses the implementation of the Cleaner Production Program (CPP) in a flexible plastic packaging manufacturing company located in Pernambuco. The study, conducted between November 2021 and March 2023, aimed to identify improvement opportunities capable of reducing environmental impacts. The application of the CPP methodology enabled the identification and adjustment of processes, with a focus on reduction, reuse, and consequently, cost reduction. Although the results achieved met the program's expectations, some opportunities for structural improvements were not implemented due to associated high costs. The program incorporated certain principles aligned with the company's values, leading employees to adopt a different perspective regarding their activities and to act in accordance with good operational practices and waste separation.
