Brazil is a world leader in beachwear production, and the state of Rio de Janeiro is the largest producer of this segment in the country, represented by the Local Productive Arrangement of Beachwear Apparel in the city of Cabo Frio, at the State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In the cutting process of these models, approximately 30 percent of raw material is wasted, mainly of synthetic origin, and is mostly discarded in sanitary landfills, where it can take centuries to decompose. In order to systematize a set of actions to pursue solutions, this research investigates, how to create a waste management process for the arrangement through the use of additive manufacturing technology, considering the environmental, social and economic dimensions. This exploratory and applied research, analyses the dynamics of textile waste from the arrangement to consider the formulation of strategies to recover value from this material. As a theoretical foundation were used the concepts of: (i) circular economy, to understand different perspectives and approaches of circular operational models; (ii) local productive arrangements, to recognize the current scenario and increase cooperation among companies that are part of the arrangement; (iii) of industrial symbiosis, as a tool inspired by natural ecosystems aimed at the exchange of materials; and (iv) additive manufacturing, as an enabling technology that drives circular economy models and strengthens democratic systems of local and distributed manufacturing. The thesis outcomes were an open flow model for textile waste management in a local production arrangement of beachwear apparel, through the intersectoral integration between textile recycling companies and the apparel manufacturers belonging to arrangement; and a prototype of a 3D printer filament using polyamide mesh for printing trims and accessories used in the manufacture of beachwear.
