SUMMARY:

Sustainability in textile laundries has become a crucial topic due to the environmental impacts associatedwith the intensive use of water, energy, and chemicals. The textile sector, widely recognized for its highconsumption of natural resources and the generation of effluents with significant polluting potential,requires a more rigorous approach to sustainability. In this context, the integration of these companiesinto the carbon credit market emerges as a promising strategy to align industrial practices with themitigation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This study aims to analyze the benefits of implementingsustainable practices in industrial laundries from a more environmentally conscious and economicallyattractive perspective. The adopted method is based on the investigation and compilation of sustainablepractices in textile laundries and discussions of different methodologies that can be applied to integratethe laundries of Agreste Pernambucano into the carbon credit market. It was identified that the mostprominent sustainable practice is the use of water or effluent treatment stations, and the second practice isthe reuse of residual sludge from these stations. However, this practice is not adopted to the same extentacross laundries, highlighting the need for further research on sustainable practices in the region due tothe lack of more efficient alternatives. Moreover, the choice of the most suitable methodology depends onthe level of investment that companies are willing to make, such as recognizedly less complexmethodologies based on aerobic processes, or other more sophisticated methodologies that use biogascapture and utilization. The adoption of sustainable practices, aligned with the parameters of CleanDevelopment Mechanisms, is not only feasible but also highly beneficial for textile laundries in AgrestePernambucano. The implementation of these methodologies allows companies to significantly reducetheir GHG emissions while entering the global market by generating carbon credits, offering a newrevenue source for companies in the Local Textile Productive Arrangement in the state of Pernambuco.
