In order to avoid the accumulation of waste generated in the environment, an alternative to reuse waste from a bucket producing company was developed, so that the waste is used in the process itself, generating savings for the company itself in addition to the benefits for the environment. The Company generates around 4600 kg per month of waste that goes to recycling, however this generates a financial loss for the same since the sale is made well below cost. Thus, by reusing this same material in the production process of the buckets, it would make the Company 100% sustainable. Through the use of a mill, it is possible to prepare the waste to return it to the production process as a raw material. The following quality tests were carried out on the buckets made with tailings that were processed in the mill: visual appearance, flexibility/resistance, weight, template, seal, drop, stacking and wall thickness test. All tests reached the quality standards established by the Company. The monthly operating cost of the mill would be almost nil and the return on your investment would be in just 3 months. Thus, it can be said that the implementation of a mill in the Company is viable both from the point of view of the quality of the product produced and the economic aspect.
