Aplicação do método da produção mais limpa em uma vinícola no município de Toledo-PR

Abstract

The Cleaner Production demands to reduce and efficiency the use of natural resources and the generation of waste, by minimizing emissions and excessive consumption. This research identified the possible applications of the principles of Cleaner Production in a winery in the city of Toledo – PR. The study was based on the bibliographical survey, documentar analyzes, visit s and interviews with the company. The necessary processes for the production of white and red fine wines, from the cultivation of the grapevines to the bottling, were identified, always measuring the possible wastes of the system and the end-of-pipe practices. The main waste generated are fermented grape marc, glass bottles, agrochemical packaging and effluents. Cleaner Production practices that could be applied to the winery were proposed. These proposed improvements are simple and require low investment, providing economic and environmental gains, such as the use of byproducts of grape marc for the production of graspa, flour and composite for feeding milch cattle; routing of glass bottles for recycling; monitoring and treatment of efluentes. By the proposals based on the Cleaner Production, it was concluded that the benefits of this application reaches several bonds in the production chain, making possible the reuse and the significant reductionof efluentes and waste generation.
