  • Drivers and barriers of sustainability-oriented innovations in Brazilian denim treatment facilities: an expert-driven decision support
    Sueydy Cordeiro Gomes Brandão, Marcele Elisa Fontana, Wesley Douglas Oliveira Silva, Gilson Lima da Silva
    Humanities and Social Sciences Communications, 2025
    The textile and apparel sector, particularly denim treatment facilities (DTFs), is responsible for significant environmental impacts, especially in water-scarce regions like Pernambuco, Brazil. This study explores the drivers and barriers to sustainability-oriented innovation (SOI) in small and medium-sized DTFs, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production). Using a mixed-methods approach, the research initially conducted a systematic literature review to identify sixteen drivers and twenty-seven barriers. These were then evaluated through expert insights, synthesized using the Nominal Group Technique (NGT), and triangulated with interviews conducted with local DTF managers. The findings reveal that only two drivers, primarily regulatory compliance and managerial support, and fourteen barriers are relevant in the local context, underscoring the significant challenges companies face in adopting sustainable practices. The paper contributes to both theory and practice by offering a decision-making model to guide managers and policymakers in fostering SOI within regional contexts, despite the challenges posed by limited infrastructure and regulatory complexities. This research highlights the need for enhanced policy support, public awareness, and technological investment to facilitate SOI in similar industrial sectors.

  • Analysis of the water–energy–greenhouse gas nexus in a water supply system in the Northeast of Brazil
    Isaura Macêdo Alves, Saulo de Tarso Marques Bezerra, Gilson Lima da Silva, Armando Dias Duarte, Henrique Leonardo Maranduba
    Revista Brasileira De Ciencias Ambientais, 2022
    In recent years, water utilities have been under pressure to increase the efficiency of their processes, mainly due to the decrease in water availability and the need to increase environmental sustainability in their processes. Leak reduction is clearly an important part of sustainable management in the water industry, and its impacts should be assessed with a broader environmental protection objective. This study aimed to present an environmental and energy assessment of the water supply system (WSS) in Caruaru City, northeast of Brazil, for different levels of water loss. This research is one of the first to assess the environmental impacts of a WSS in Latin America. Primary data adopted for preparing the inventory were provided by the water utility, and modeling and analysis were performed with the SimaPro 8.0® program. Cumulative energy demand (CED) was used to track the energy consumption of the system’s life cycle. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were calculated through the IPCC GWP 100a method with emissions expressed as CO2-Eq. The data sets from life-cycle inventories were used from the Ecoinvent 3.1 database. Four scenarios with different levels of water loss were analyzed. Scenario S0 was represented with the real conditions of the system, whereas the others considered hypothetical indices. The percentages proposed for Scenarios S1, S2, and S3 were based on indices that indicate good loss rate in the distribution network for the Brazilian reality (25%), reduction by half of loss rates, and excellent loss rates for the water pipeline system (5%) and distribution network (10%). The analysis of the processes’ contributions showed that the electricity consumption of the pumping systems of water mains represented the greatest environmental impact in all scenarios. The most efficient scenario would result in a 52% reduction in the emission of GHGs, demonstrating that the increase in the hydraulic efficiency of the distribution networks represents a significant opportunity to reduce the environmental impacts of the processes.
  • Study of Population Water Footprint in a Semi-Arid Region

    A Pegada Hídrica (PH) configura-se como uma ferramenta importante no auxílio da mensuração do grau de sustentabilidade no uso da água de um dado local. Ela mensura o volume total anual de água doce necessário para produzir os bens e serviços de uma população. Este trabalho objetivou estudar a PH média dos habitantes da região Agreste de Pernambuco, avaliando-se o consumo de água e sua relação com indicadores sociais. A metodologia consistiu na aplicação de questionários para geração de dados aplicados na calculadora eletrônica para mensurar a PH de um indivíduo, 625 questionários foram aplicados. Os resultados mostraram que o valor da PH per capita foi de 1128,19 m³. ano-1, situando-se abaixo da PH per capita do planeta (1385 m3.ano-1) e da média brasileira (2027 m3.ano-1), fato atribuído às características semiáridas da região estudada. A relação encontrada entre a renda e PH foi linear, demonstrando que uma população com maior poder aquisitivo consome mais produtos, o que consequentemente, produz maiores valores de PH. A alimentação correspondeu a 62,6% da PH da região. Desta forma, políticas direcionadas aos hábitos alimentares podem apresentar resultados mais efetivos no gerenciamento da água do que, por exemplo, açõesvoltadas ao consumo de água doméstica. É importante destacar que na gestão dos recursos hídricos, a questão da qualidade da água não pode ser desprezada. Neste sentido algumas atividades industriais, por exemplo, podem contribuir de forma menos pronunciada no consumo de água, mas serem fortemente responsáveis pela poluição dos corpos receptores.Palavras-chave: Consumo de água; Recursos hídricos; Indicadores. Study of Population Water Footprint in a Semi-Arid Region A B S T R A C TThe Water Footprint (WF) is an important tool in support to measure the degree of sustainability in the water use in a given location. It measures the total annual volume of fresh water needed to produce goods and services for a population. This research aimed to study the WF average of the inhabitants from Agreste region of Pernambuco, evaluating water consumption and its relationship with social indicators. The methodology consisted of the questionnaires application. The data were insert in a eletronic calculator for WF mensuration, 625 questionnaires were applied. The results showed that the WF per capita was 1128.19 m³.year-1, which is below the planet's WF per capita (1385 m3.year-1) and the Brazilian average (2027 m3.year-1), fact attributed to the semiarid characteristics of the studied region. The relationship found between incomes and WF was linear, showing that a population with greater purchasing power consumes more products, which consequently produces higher WF values. Feeding corresponded to 62.59% of the WF of the region. In this way, policies aimed at eating habits can present more effective results in water management than, for example, actions aimed at the consumption of domestic water. It is important to highlight that in the management of water resources, the water quality issue cannot be forgetted. In this sense, some industrial activities, for example, may contribute less significantly to water demand, but are strongly responsible for receiving bodies pollution.Keywords: Water consumption; Water resources; Indicator
