Abstract(s)
Os impactos ambientais põem em causa a qualidade socioambiental, provocando efeitos negativos no meio ambiente. Assim, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi a realização da Análise de Impacte Ambiental (AIA) da VYGON para a implementação da norma ISO 14001:2015. Inicialmente foram identificadas todas as atividades realizadas na VYGON Portugal que podiam ter um impacto ambiental significativo. Seguidamente foi efetuada uma avaliação individual de acordo com parâmetros previamente estabelecidos. Por último definiramse as possíveis soluções para as atividades que demonstraram um impacte considerável, com vista à avaliação da eficácia e resolução dos mesmos. A Análise do Ciclo de Vida (ACV) foi efetuada tendo em consideração todos setores da empresa e, posteriormente, foi realizado um levantamento de todas os aspetos que possam causar um impacte ambiental. A totalidade das atividades encontradas foram analisadas e separadas por fase do ciclo de vida. Estas foram analisadas individualmente com recurso a uma metodologia previamente definida pela sede da empresa. Os resultados obtidos revelam que a maioria das atividades da empresa analisadas não apresentam impactos expressivos que possam conduzir a alterações no funcionamento da mesma. Com isto, os poucos impactos classificados como significativos ou “a observar” referem-se a ações e impactos genéricos, não relacionados com tarefas demasiado especificas à produção/fabrico realizada na VYGON. As análises efetuadas mostraram também que existem determinadas atividades comuns a várias fases do ciclo de vida que apresentam um elevado impacto negativo para o ambiente, como por exemplo, os transportes. O presente trabalho permitiu concluir que é fundamental o desenvolvimento de metodologias de monitorização uniformes e adequadas, que incidam nas características particulares de cada empresa e que combatam impactos ambientais com bastante responsabilidade para o meio ambiente.
Environmental impacts are challenging the social and environmental quality, causing negative effects on the environment. The objective of the present work was to conduct the Environmental Impact Analysis (EIA) of VYGON for the implementation of the ISO 14001:2015 standard. Initially all activities carried out in VYGON Portugal that could have a significant environmental impact on the environment were identified, followed by an individual assessment according to previously established parameters. Finally, possible solutions were defined for the activities that showed a considerable impact, in order to evaluate their effectiveness and resolution. The Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) was carried out taking into consideration all the company's sectors and, subsequently, a survey of all the aspects that could cause an environmental impact was carried out. All the activities found were analyzed and separated by life cycle stage. These were individually analyzed using a methodology previously defined by the company's headquarters. The obtained results revealed that most of the activities of the company analyzed do not present significant impacts that could lead to changes in the functioning of the company. With this, the few impacts classified as significant or "to observe" refer to generic actions and impacts, not related to tasks too specific to production/manufacturing performed in VYGON.The analyses also showed that there are certain activities common to several life cycle phases that have a high negative impact on the environment, such as transportation. Another important conclusion is the fact that most of the activities evaluated have a score below 80, meaning that there is no negative consequences or impact on the environment. The present work allowed us to conclude that it is fundamental to develop uniform and adequate monitoring methodologies that focus on the particular characteristics of each company and that combat environmental impacts with enough responsibility to the environment.
