| Abstract | The energy transition in the industrial sector, as well as the way energy is produced and consumed in areas heavily dependent on electricity, dictates that it is urgent to change this scenario by resorting to methodologies based on the circular economy, to mitigate waste and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, with the aim of local energy production, in the context of applying the "United Nations Sustainable Development Goals". The research presented in this work intends to analyze the weaknesses and strengths that the plastic processing industry suffers, with the aim of becoming more competitive and efficient in the use of energy, as well as less waste generating, through the application of a methodology of management, such as the circular economy. It was through participation in an international project DEMOLA and applying its methodology based on management tools such as the Mind Map, PESTEL, and SWOT analysis supported by an interdisciplinary team of researchers, and they had a plastic company, as a case study. The results extracted should be disseminated throughout the industrial sector. Finally, conclusions are presented from the study carried out, achieving an improvement in the efficiency and sustainability of the company chosen as a case study and a contribution to sustainable development. |
