Resumo(s)
Atualmente, a economia circular é um conceito emergente e a sua relevância
passa pelo papel que tem na contribuição para uma atividade mais sustentável por parte
das empresas industriais. O seu principal objetivo é a eliminação de resíduos através do
design superior de materiais, produtos, sistemas e modelos de empresas. A economia
circular tem vindo a ganhar atenção devido à urgência de mitigar as mudanças climáticas,
à competitividade e aos regulamentos ambientais e é considerada como um meio para
alcançar a sustentabilidade. Além disso, as organizações estão a melhorar o seu
desempenho de negócios através de tecnologias digitais. No entanto, a literatura está
pouco desenvolvida quanto à relação entre as práticas de economia circular e as
tecnologias digitais utilizadas para o desenvolvimento das mesmas.
A presente dissertação pretende estudar a implementação das práticas de
economia circular e das tecnologias digitais nas empresas da indústria transformadora
portuguesa. O modelo conceptual proposto foi testado utilizando 188 respostas recolhidas
através de um questionário online feito às empresas da indústria transformadora
portuguesa.
Os resultados obtidos mostraram que a orientação digital afeta positivamente a
adoção das tecnologias da indústria 4.0 (I4). A adoção de tecnologias I4 não tem
influência direta no desempenho sustentável, no entanto, existe um efeito mediador entre
estas duas variáveis que reside nas práticas de economia circular. Concluiu-se também
que a adoção de tecnologias I4 tem um impacto positivo na adoção de práticas de
economia circular e, por fim, a orientação closed-loop mostrou também afetar
positivamente a adoção de práticas de economia circular.
Nowadays, the circular economy is an emerging concept and its relevance resides in the role it plays to contribute to a more sustainable activity by industrial companies. The main goal is the elimination of waste through the superior design of materials, products, systems and company models. The circular economy has been gaining attention due to the urgency of mitigating climate change, competitiveness and environmental regulations and is considered as a way to achieve sustainability. In addition, organizations are improving their business performance through digital technologies. However, the literature is poorly developed regarding the relationship between environmental management practices and the digital technologies used for the implementation of this practices. This dissertation aims to study the implementation of environmental management practices and digital technologies in the Portuguese manufacturing companies. The proposed conceptual model will test the effect of digital orientation on I4 technologies, as well as the impact of these technologies on sustainable performance. It also intends to analyze the influence of I4 technologies on the adoption of circular practices and the impact of circular economy practices on the relationship between I4 technologies and sustainable performance. Finally, the effect of closed-loop orientation on the adoption of circular practices is studied. This model was tested using 188 responses collected through an online questionnaire sent to Portuguese manufacturing companies. The results obtained showed that digital orientation positively affects the adoption of I4 technologies. The adoption of I4 technologies has no direct influence on sustainable performance, however, there is a mediating effect between these two variables that resides in circular economy practices. It was also concluded that the adoption of I4 technologies has a positive impact on the adoption of circular economy practices and, finally, the closed-loop orientation was also shown to positively affect the adoption of circular economy practices.
