The Scenario of Industries in Teresina in the Face of Cleaner Production

Concern about environmental issues has brought to light the fact that pollution is a loss in the production process, and that companies must act in such a way as to achieve the required environmental adjustments and that new ventures must be designed in such a way as to encompass environmental perspectives. This is why social responsibility is so important for companies, which are understood less and less as a production unit and more as an organization, which takes the form of respect for human rights and the environment. In this context, with the emergence of the concept of sustainable development came the need to create new techniques to be applied in production systems in order to achieve better environmental performance throughout the product life cycle. To this end, the cleaner production approach aims to provide solutions geared towards prevention and minimization, so that companies act at the source of generation. Cleaner production is a response to market pressures. Its implementation reduces the risks of operations in organizations for society and the environment, as well as promoting innovation and adding competitive value.
