The production and treatment of waste is a problem in today's society and one of the productive sectors that deserves to be highlighted in relation to waste is the one involved with fashion. The clothing manufacturing industry is part of this sector and the generation of waste is significant, especially the fabric retail. In order to analyze the production and destination of this type of waste, the production of clothing in the municipality of Maringá, PR is discussed here. For that, the qualitative approach methodology was used, more specifically the study of multiple cases and applied methods of production and analysis of the semi-structured interview. The study allows us to understand the ways of understanding the problem of waste generation and management from the perspective of actors and institutions directly involved in the process, namely: the owners of the factories, the employees, the public agencies.
