Levantamento das sanções legais ambientais aplicadas à indústria têxtil e do vestuário no Brasil

Abstract

Environmental preservation is a subject that has been taking great proportions worldwide, and for this reason several countries have gathered in congresses to discuss this issue. Due to the concern with maintaining an ecologically healthy environment for future generations, laws were created to control activities that cause environmental damage. One of the great generators of environmental pollution is industrial waste, as it harms the ecosystem and therefore needs to be treated and disposed of correctly. The textile industry is an example of a sector that generates large amounts of waste from the beginning of its production process. This study aimed to survey of state environmental legislation aimed at Brazil textile and clothing industry and compare them to the PNRS 12.305/10 and CONAMA 430. Qualitative­quantitative research was carried out that made it possible to notice that state legislations aimed at environmental protection that include textile waste, however, most states still use national laws to govern their environmental policy. The creation of state environmental laws is important, as each state generates waste differently, requiring specific control for each location, it is also interesting to make the reuse of waste mandatory, as an alternative to mitigate the environmental impact.
