Resumo: Biomass, considered one of the main sources of alternative energy, originates from residual organic material such as the cassava crop. Biodigesters are capable of transforming these residuals into biogas and biofertilizers. This allows a reduction of almost 80% in the residual organic material being deposited in the earth or rivers, avoiding deposits accumulating on riverbeds and negative environmental impacts. It also allows substantial savings in terms of energy. The general aim of this study is to investigate, with the implementation of biodigesters, how eco-innovation practices contribute to the economic and environmental performance of cassava processing companies in Paraná State. Through qualitative research, the method employed an exploratory approach and intensive multiple-case analyses, with data collected through semi-structured interviews. The study showed that the eco-innovation practices that were adopted aided the economic and environmental performance of the companies in question. The study contributes to academia with scientific research on biodigester technology using the residual organic material of cassava for sustainable development. It also contributes to the corporate universe by demonstrating an opportunity for sustainable innovation with improved economic and environmental performance, which can be extrapolated to other industrial segments.

Los digestores son capaces de transformar estos residuos en biogás y biofertilizantes, lo que permite una reducción de casi el 80% de los materiales orgánicos residuales liberadas en el suelo o en los ríos, evitando el depósito en el fondo de los ríos y el impacto ambiental negativo, y también en la economía de energía, se da cuenta ganancias sustanciales. El objetivo de este estudio es investigar si, en la implementación de biodigestores, las prácticas de eco-innovación contribuyen al desempeño económico y ambiental de las empresas de procesamiento de yuca en Paraná. Basándose en la investigación cualitativa, el método utilizado es el análisis exploratorio e intensiva de casos múltiples, con los datos recogidos a través de entrevista semiestructurada. El estudio mostró que las prácticas de eco-innovación adoptadas contribuyeron al rendimiento económico y medioambiental de las empresas. La obra ofrece al mundo académico: un estudio en el área científica con respecto a la tecnología de biodigestores de la materia orgánica residual de yuca para el desarrollo sostenible; y el mundo empresarial: una oportunidad para la innovación sostenible con mejoras en el rendimiento económico y medioambiental, que pueden ser extrapolables a otras industrias.A biomassa, considerada uma das principais fontes alternativas de energia, advém dos materiais orgânicos residuais da cultura da mandioca – no Brasil, especificamente no Estado do Paraná. Os biodigestores são capazes de transformar esses resíduos em biogás e biofertilizantes, permitindo uma redução de quase 80% dos materiais orgânicos residuais lançados na terra ou nos rios, evitando o depósito no fundo de rios e o impacto ambiental negativo e, ainda, em economia de energia, percebem-se ganhos substanciais. O objetivo geral deste trabalho é investigar se, na implantação de biodigestores, as práticas de ecoinovação contribuíram para o desempenho econômico e ambiental das empresas processadoras de mandioca do Paraná. Valendo-se de pesquisa qualitativa, o método utilizado é o exploratório e de análise intensiva de múltiplos casos, com os dados coletados por meio de entrevista semiestruturada. O estudo demonstrou que as práticas de ecoinovação adotadas contribuíram para o desempenho econômico e ambiental das empresas. O trabalho oferece para o universo acadêmico: um estudo na área científica no que diz respeito à tecnologia de biodigestores a partir do material orgânico residual da mandioca para o desenvolvimento sustentável; e para o universo corporativo: uma oportunidade de inovação sustentável com melhorias no desempenho econômico e ambiental, o qual pode ser extrapolado para outros segmentos industriais.Universidade Nove de Julho - UNINOVE2016-12-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uninove.br/geas/article/view/1001310.5585/geas.v5i3.584Revista de Gestão Ambiental e Sustentabilidade; v. 5 n. 3 (2016): Setembro - Dezembro; 72-862316-9834reponame:Revista de Gestão Ambiental e Sustentabilidade - GeASinstname:Universidade Nove de Julho (UNINOVE)instacron:UNINOVEporhttps://periodicos.uninove.br/geas/article/view/10013/4706Copyright (c) 2018 Revista de Gestão Ambiental e Sustentabilidadeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSilva, Alexandre Rodrigues daCirani, Cláudia Brito SilvaSerra, Fernando Antonio Ribeiro2018-12-05T03:49:11Zoai:ojs.periodicos.uninove.br:article/10013Revistahttps://periodicos.uninove.br/geasONGhttps://periodicos.uninove.br/geas/oai||journalgeas@gmail.com2316-98342316-9834opendoar:2018-12-05T03:49:11Revista de Gestão Ambiental e Sustentabilidade - GeAS - Universidade Nove de Julho (UNINOVE)false
