Resumo: According to “The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development” of United Nations where 17 goals for the Sustainable Development are established, one goal has direct implication for the industrial sector – assure sustainable consumption and production patterns. In a world where globalization is more and more present, packaging emerges as a link between all points around the world allowing to transport and commercialize products on a global level. Therefore, it is necessary to study how is the Portuguese packaging industry adapting itself to the increasing demands of the markets, while complying with the global environmental requirements. Accordingly, in this study, this industry will be precisely analysed, intending to understand how the theme of Eco-design and sustainability on the industrial processes are faced by the companies. A characterization of the industry is intended to be done, defining how companies should organize and prepare themselves in order to have a diminishing environmental impact, a raw-materials sustainability policy and implement environmental aspects through the packaging’s life cycle – Eco-design.

Num mundo onde a globalização é uma realidade cada vez mais presente, a embalagem surge como um elo de ligação entre todos os pontos do globo permitindo o transporte e a comercialização de produtos a nível global. Torna-se assim essencial estudar como a indústria da embalagem portuguesa se está a adaptar às cada vez maiores necessidades do mercado, cumprindo com as exigências ambientais globais. Assim, neste estudo, será analisada ao pormenor esta indústria, pretendendo-se perceber de que modo é encarado o tema do Eco-design e sustentabilidade nos processos industriais e socioeconómicos das diversas empresas. Pretende-se caracterizar a indústria, definindo de que modo as empresas se deverão organizar e preparar para que tenham um cada vez menor impacto ambiental, uma política de sustentabilidade de matérias-primas e a implementação de aspetos ambientais ao longo do ciclo de vida das embalagens por elas produzidas – Eco-design.Silva, Francisco José Gomes daRepositório Científico do Instituto Politécnico do PortoMonteiro, João Pedro Campos2019-06-18T15:04:27Z20182018-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.22/14036TID:202166465enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-03-13T12:56:30Zoai:recipp.ipp.pt:10400.22/14036Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T17:33:52.926889Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse

Therefore, it is necessary to study how is the Portuguese packaging industry adapting itself to the increasing demands of the markets, while complying with the global environmental requirements. Accordingly, in this study, this industry will be precisely analysed, intending to understand how the theme of Eco-design and sustainability on the industrial processes are faced by the companies. A characterization of the industry is intended to be done, defining how companies should organize and prepare themselves in order to have a diminishing environmental impact, a raw-materials sustainability policy and implement environmental aspects through the packaging’s life cycle – Eco-design.
