Abstract(s)
A indústria tem um peso muito relevante no que toca ao crescimento económico do país, principalmente porque dela depende toda a produção de bens. No entanto, a indústria transformadora é um dos principais consumidores de recursos naturais e também uma das mais poluentes. As indústrias transformadoras europeias têm vindo a demonstrar uma crescente preocupação no que respeita ao seu desempenho ambiental, dando prioridade às questões de índole ambiental que se colocam nos processos de decisão e que se traduzem em melhorias na gestão das organizações, através de um controlo mais rigoroso dos impactes associados às suas actividades. A implementação de sistemas de gestão ambiental (SGA) tem provado ser um dos meios mais eficientes de uma organização controlar estes impactes, proteger o ambiente, prevenir a poluição e, simultaneamente, optimizar processos e melhorar o desempenho a todos os níveis, garantindo ainda o reconhecimento formal pelos clientes e investidores do bom desempenho e transparência da organização. É neste âmbito que surge o presente estudo que teve como objectivo principal o levantamento ambiental na “Empresa Madeirense Tabacos, S.A. – Fábrica de Tabaco Estrela”. Neste levantamento são identificados os aspectos ambientais com maior relevância para as diferentes actividades desenvolvidas nesta unidade fabril, permitindo deste modo avaliar e diagnosticar o desempenho ambiental da mesma. Deste modo é realizada uma caracterização de todos os processos produtivos e auxiliares à produção, seguindo-se a realização do diagnóstico ambiental através da selecção de diversos indicadores ambientais, nomeadamente, emissões, abastecimento de água e produção de águas residuais, energia, resíduos e ruído ambiental, a partir de dados recolhidos para o ano de 2009, que constituíram o universo do estudo. Em síntese, os descritores emissões, água e energia foram os que apresentaram uma maior significância ambiental ao nível de impactes induzidos, com o descritor emissões associado à libertação de 609 t co2eq para a atmosfera, referente ao consumo de fuelóleo pelas caldeiras, um consumo de água de 2 501 m3/ano e uma produção de águas residuais próxima de 2 101,1 m3/ano, e um consumo energético global de 196,6 tep/ano.
ABSTRACT: The industry plays a very important role regarding the country's economic growth, mainly because it depends on the total output of goods. However, the manufacturing industry is a major consumer of natural resources and also one of the most polluting. The manufacturing industries in Europe have been showing a growing concern with regard to their environmental performance, giving priority to environmental decision-making processes that are translated into improvements in their management, by controlling the impacts associated with their activities. The implementation of environmental management systems (EMS) has proven to be one of most effective ways for an organization to control their impacts, protect the environment, prevent pollution and simultaneously optimize processes and improve performance at all levels, ensuring the formal recognition of customers and investors the good performance and transparency of the organization. In this context, the main objective of this study is to produce an environmental survey in “Empresa Madeirense Tabacos, S.A. – Fábrica de Tabaco Estrela”. This survey identifies the environmental aspects of greatest relevance related to the activities in course, thus enabling a diagnosis and a general environmental assessment of the organization. Thus it is a characterization of all production processes and auxiliary production, following the completion of environmental assessment by the selection of various environmental indicators, including emissions, water supply and wastewater, energy, waste and noise environment, from data collected for the year 2009, which constituted the universe of the study. In summary, the descriptors emissions, water and energy were those with greater environmental significance at the level of induced impacts. For the descriptor emissions, 609 t CO2eq were released as GEE into the atmosphere related to the consumption of fuel oil in the boilers; water consumption was 2 501 m3/year and wastewater amounted 2 101,1 m3/year, with an overall energy consumption of 196,6 tep/year.
