Utilização da revisão sistemática para a análise de alternativas para uma destinação adequada ao resíduo de cabo de fibra de vidro em uma indústria metalúrgica

Abstract

This work addresses the issue of industrial solid waste resulting from the disorderly exploitation of natural resources in the global industrialization process. The industrial expansion, aiming for large-scale production, intensified waste generation, becoming a global concern. Despite the benefits of industrialization, such as increased productivity and technological advances, environmental degradation has become a significant challenge. Inadequate management of solid waste, especially in the metallurgical industry, represents a critical issue, demanding sustainable alternatives. The systematic review conducted in this study covered various alternatives for the disposal of fiberglass cable waste, highlighting its versatility in sectors such as civil construction and wind energy. The analysis of waste generation revealed a significant reduction over time, indicating the positive impact of measures implemented by the studied company. The analyzed individual studies supported the technical, economic, and environmental viability of alternatives for waste, from incorporation into sustainable concrete to thermolysis for obtaining vitroceramic material. Such approaches not only reduce waste but also contribute to sustainability in various industrial sectors. The final considerations emphasize the importance of sustainable strategies and employee awareness. Recommendations include large-scale sustainable practices, collaboration between sectors, and the promotion of innovative solutions. This study not only highlights the efficient management of fiberglass waste as an opportunity for innovation and sustainability but also underscores the ongoing need for waste management improvement, contributing to a healthier and more sustainable global environment.
