Los productos textiles impulsan una parte importante de la economía mundial, proporcionan empleos, están presentes en todos los aspectos de nuestras vidas y en todos los países del mundo. No obstante, en su producción, surgen problemas relacionados con las presiones ambientales y sociales. Considerando la creciente preocupación relacionada con los impactos ambientales y sociales, es necesario abordar el tema de las emisiones generadas indirectamente por los sectores que abastecen la industria textil. El objetivo de este trabajo fue realizar una evaluación ambiental y socioeconómica del consumo de productos textiles en Brasil, tomando en cuenta la relación con el comercio internacional. La metodología utilizada fue el análisis de entrada-salida multiregional (MRIO), y la base de datos utilizada fue Exiobase 3, para el año 2011. Se pudo concluir que la mayoría de impactos indir...

The main objective of this article is to assess the carbon footprint of Brazilian families based on the Household Expenditure Survey (POF), 2008-2009, from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). The methodology used to quantify the Brazilian households’ carbon footprint has comprised three data sources: i) Household expenditure Survey, 2008-2009; ii) Leontief matrix of Brazilian accounts, year 2010; and iii) 2009 World Input-Output Database (WIOD) environmental inventory. Initially, an input-output (IO) model was created. Next, the results from the IO model were combined with the information of the POF. The poorest families, with a monthly income of up to $ 415.00, emit less than 1.5 metric tons per year, in contrast, the wealthiest families, with a monthly income above $ 5,187.50, release around 18.5 tons, almost 12 times more. It was found that an increase in inc...

Textile products drive a significant portion of the world economy, providing jobs, and being present in every aspect of our lives in all countries around the world. However, in its production, issues related to environmental and social pressures emerge. Taking into consideration the growing concern related to environmental and social impacts, it is necessary to address the issue of emissions generated indirectly by the sectors that supply the textile industry. This work has carried out an environmental and socioeconomic assessment of the consumption of textile products in Brazil, considering the relationship with international trade. The methodology used was the Multi-Regional Input-Output (MRIO) analysis, and the database used was Exiobase 3, for the year 2011. It was possible to conclude that most of the indirect impacts related to the textile industry are domestically generated. In th...

El objetivo principal de este artículo es investigar la huella de carbono de las familias brasileñas, a través de la información de consumo, utilizando la Encuesta de Presupuesto Familiar 2008-2009, del Instituto Brasileño de Geografía y Estadística (IBGE). La metodología utilizada para cuantificar el enlace de carbono de la familia brasileña se realiza en base a tres fuentes: i. La encuesta de presupuesto familiar, 2008-2009; ii) La matriz de cuentas nacionales de Leontief, año 2010; y iii. El inventario ambiental de la base de datos de entrada y salida (WIOD) 2009. De esta manera, se realizó la creación de un modelo de entrada y salida. Este modelo produjo resultados promedio, considerando todas las regiones de Brasil. En consecuencia, las familias más pobres, con un ingreso mensual de US $ 415.00, emiten menos de 1.5 toneladas por año, mientras que las familias más rica...
