Gestão de resíduos de madeira: estudo em empresa de estofados na Zona da Mata, Minas Gerais.

Abstract

This article presents the results of a research case study that investigates the management of wood residues from the furniture industries, more specifically the upholstery segment, in order to propose solutions aimed at the minimization of these residues. Interdisciplinarity is indispensable because the interaction between engineering, management and design are essential to study ways of reducing wood waste in the upholstery industry. The company, object of study, is located in the region of Zona da Mata, Minas Gerais. The methodology used is qualitative, of an applied and descriptive nature, in which the case study was chosen as the object. From the results, one can conclude on the need for a more robust implementation of environmental management tools, as well as the design or redesign of the products, aiming at the reduction of waste at source and facilitating the management of waste in production.
