Abstract(s)
A implementação de metodologias Lean green na Economia Circular é uma abordagem para
otimizar o desempenho ambiental e económico de empresas e indústrias. O Lean green combina
princípios de produção Lean e desenvolvimento sustentável, procurando eliminar desperdícios e
melhorar a eficiência energética e a gestão de recursos. A sua base incorpora a implementação de
tecnologias Lean, tais como fontes de energia renováveis e conservação de recursos naturais. O
objetivo deste trabalho é investigar, através de uma revisão estruturada da literatura, como o Lean
green pode apoiar ou dificultar a implementação e sustentabilidade da Economia Circular nas
organizações. A tese visa explorar os conceitos Lean green e Economia Circular, bem como a sua
relação e integração, de modo a ser benéfico. Posteriormente será definido o roadmap de
ferramentas Lean green e Economia Circular a implementar. A presente dissertação apresenta uma
metodologia abrangente e inovadora para o desenvolvimento de um roadmap para a melhoria de
uma Estação de Tratamento de Águas Residuais Industriais. Por meio da aplicação desta
metodologia, empresas de diversos setores poderão enfrentar os desafios associados ao
tratamento de efluentes industriais, garantindo a conformidade com as regulamentações
ambientais, a redução do impacto negativo no ecossistema e o fomento à responsabilidade social
corporativa. Ao longo do processo, foram identificados diversos problemas e impactos ambientais
associados ao funcionamento da estação de tratamento, que vão desde o consumo de energia até
ao uso de produtos químicos e gestão de resíduos. Para abordar esses desafios, foram propostas
ações concretas baseadas em princípios de Economia Circular e Lean green, que promovem a
redução de emissões de compostos orgânicos voláteis, incorporação de resíduos em processos
produtivos, entre outras. Todas essas ações têm o potencial de aumentar a eficiência energética,
reduzir o consumo de água, diminuir as emissões de carbono e minimizar o impacto ambiental.
Assim sendo, a gestão eficiente, a adoção de tecnologias avançadas e a conformidade com
regulamentações ambientais podem levar a melhorias substanciais no desempenho das estações
de tratamento de águas residuais industriais, tornando possível alcançar metas mais sustentáveis
sem comprometer a qualidade do tratamento das águas residuais.
The implementation of Lean green methodologies in the Circular Economy is an approach to optimize the environmental and economic performance of companies and industries. Lean green combines Lean production principles and sustainable development, aiming to eliminate waste and improve energy efficiency and resource management. Its foundation includes the implementation of Lean technologies such as renewable energy sources and natural resource conservation. The objective of this work is to investigate, through a structured literature review, how Lean green can support or hinder the implementation and sustainability of the Circular Economy in organizations. The thesis aims to explore the concepts of Lean green and Circular Economy, as well as their relationship and integration, for mutual benefit. Subsequently, a roadmap of Lean green and Circular Economy tools will be defined. This dissertation presents a comprehensive and innovative methodology for the improvement roadmap of an Industrial Wastewater Treatment Plant. Through the application of this methodology, companies from various sectors can address the challenges associated with industrial effluent treatment, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations, reducing the negative impact on the ecosystem, and promoting corporate social responsibility. Throughout the process, various environmental problems and impacts associated with the operation of the treatment plant were identified, ranging from energy consumption to the use of chemicals and waste management. To address these challenges, concrete actions based on Circular Economy and Lean green principles were proposed, promoting the reduction of volatile organic compound emissions, the incorporation of waste into production processes, among others. All these actions have the potential to increase energy efficiency, reduce water consumption, decrease carbon emissions, and minimize environmental impact. Therefore, efficient management, the adoption of advanced technologies, and compliance with environmental regulations can lead to substantial improvements in the performance of industrial wastewater treatment plants, making it possible to achieve more sustainable goals without compromising the quality of wastewater treatment.
