Companies in the Brazilian industrial sector are always looking for ways to become or
remain competitive in the market. For this, they need to see in their processes
opportunities that set precedents for improvement. Within this context, the reduction
of costs based on the reduction of waste of raw material or any other resource is a
reality. Therefore, this work has as main objective to show the technical and
economic feasibility of using recycled zamac alloy in an industry in Manaus / AM.
Because, in line with the aspiration of most companies, this use aims precisely to
make the best use of the raw material, bringing with it the other benefits. To achieve
this objective, the work makes use of a case study in that company, using a
methodology provided with bibliographic and documentary research. In addition,
through technical visits and some tests, data were collected to analyze the use of
zamac waste through recycling. The research ends the study reaching a positive
conclusion, in which it is shown to be viable to use the recycled raw material in the
studied company, so that the necessary adjustments can be made. As for the
technical parameters that guarantee a good performance of the material, the
recycled Zamac alloy meets the specifications if it is mixed with the virgin raw
material in a certain proportion. As for the financial issues that need to be of benefit
to the company, the use of recycled Zamac alloy represents a recovery of
approximately 77% of the material that would be discarded.
