Abstract(s)
O ano de 2022 surge na indústria como o ano da inovação e recuperação para a
crise económica causada pela Covid-19. Sendo a indústria do calçado uma das indústrias
que contribui para a economia do país, foi desenvolvida uma pesquisa de modo a
compreender o estado atual desta indústria, como pode evoluir de forma mais
sustentável e continuar a ser uma mais-valia para o país.
A indústria do calçado português tem sido reconhecida externamente pela sua
qualidade de produção. Ao mesmo tempo, esta indústria tem vindo a demonstrar a sua
preocupação com os impactos socioeconómicos e ambientais, desenvolvendo linhas de
produção e produtos cada vez mais sustentáveis, melhorando a imagem do sector.
A indústria do calçado portuguesa é conhecida pelo uso de matérias-primas
naturais como as peles. Porém, novos materiais são cada vez mais comuns, estando
muitos relacionados com economias circulares. Esses materiais surgem a partir do
aproveitamento de resíduos gerados pelo próprio processo produtivo ou são materiais de
outras indústrias, que são aproveitados para a criação de componentes para o calçado.
Para uma melhor compreensão dos tipos de materiais usados na atualidade,
iniciou-se este trabalho por uma análise histórica, seguida por uma descrição da evolução
de diferentes tendências relacionadas com as fases de produção, tipos de calçado e seus
componentes. Desse modo, compreendeu-se as fases do ciclo do produto. A escolha de
materiais para um dado tipo de calçado tem um grande impacto no produto final. Foram
analisados os materiais usados no fabrico de diferentes tipos de calçado, a gestão de
desperdícios durante a produção, o uso de materiais reciclados e o seu papel na
divulgação de marcas conhecidas pela sustentabilidade.
Da compreensão da cadeia produtiva e das novas tendências foi proposta uma
solução prática e sustentável para a indústria do calçado, em uma das fases da economia
circular: - a reciclagem. Assim, sugere-se a criação de uma empresa de recolha e
tratamento de calçado usado com a finalidade de redução de desperdícios em aterros.
The year 2022 comes in industry as the year of innovation and recovery for the economic crisis caused by Covid-19. Since the footwear industry is one of the industries that contributes to the country's economy, a research was developed to understand the current state of this industry, how it can evolve more sustainably and continue to be an added value for the country. The footwear industry has Portuguese been recognized externally for its quality of production. At the same time, this industry has been showing its concern about socioeconomic and environmental impacts by developing increasingly sustainable production lines and products, improving the image of the sector. The Portuguese footwear industry is known for the use of natural raw materials such as fur. However, new materials are increasingly common, with many related to circular economies. These materials arise from the use of waste generated by the production process itself or are materials from other industries, which are used for the creation of components for footwear. For a better understanding of the types of materials used today, this work was initiated by a historical analysis, followed by a description of the evolution of different trends related to the production phases, types of footwear and their components. Thus, the phases of the product cycle were understood. The choice of materials for a given type of footwear has a great impact on the final product. We analyzed the materials used in the manufacture of different types of footwear, the management of waste during production, the use of recycled materials and their role in the dissemination of brands known for sustainability. From the understanding of the production chain and new trends, a practical and sustainable solution was proposed for the footwear industry, in one of the phases of the circular economy: - recycling. Thus, it is suggested the creation of a company for the collection and treatment of used footwear for the purpose of reducing waste in landfills.
