During the industrial revolutions, the pattern of population consumption increased, boosting the development of industries. Among the industries that were quickly affected by the revolutions, the textile industry stands out, since it was the first to use the steam engine. Currently, the textile industry is one of the main sectors of the world economy, requiring large amounts of resources to meet its demand and, consequently, generating a significant volume of waste. Due to this, there is a growing concern about this sector, because if the residues do not present adequate treatment and final destination, they can have negative impacts on the environment. These impacts mean physical and/or chemical and/or biological changes in the environment, which affect the quality of life. In view of the above, the present work aims to analyze the potential of urban mining in the textile industrial center of Pernambuco's Agreste region, since urban mining is a promising process in assisting in the recycling of waste and, therefore, contributes to a circular economy and more sustainable development. To achieve this objective, this research will carry out: a) a state-of-the-art analysis of the proposed theme, seeking a better understanding of it; b) a study about the Local Productive Arrangement of the Agreste of Pernambuco, to understand its productive cycle and its relationship with the ecological environment; c) the characterization of the textile sludge, through physical-chemical analyzes in sludge samples collected in the drying bed of the treatment station of the laundries belonging to the study area. In this way, it is expected that the present research can contribute to the municipalities belonging to the industrial pole of Pernambuco, so that it is able to prosper not only socioeconomically, but also environmentally, meeting the concept of sustainable development.
