Such studies play a major role in defining requirements for the choice of materials based on their environmental and social impacts. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the main impacts of the production of ceramic brick, tiles and blocks in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, and to suggest strategies that can be adopted by the red ceramic industry for improving its impact in the environment and in the community where the plants are located. Multiple-case studies involving eight small, medium and large sized companies were carried out. The data collected were concerned with the use of raw materials, energy sources, waste production, sources of CO2 emission and working conditions. The study indicated that this sector has carried out a number of successful initiatives that aim to reduce its environmental impact, such as the consumption of waste from other industries as raw materials and the use of renewable energy sources. However, the case studies indicated that further improvements are necessary in the reduction of waste, improvement of working conditions, and organization of the production process. No Brasil, existem poucos estudos que avaliam impactos ambientais relacionados à produção de materiais de construção. Tais estudos são fundamentais para a definição de requisitos voltados ao desempenho ambiental e social dos materiais de construção. Este artigo discute os principais impactos ambientais e sociais associados à produção de tijolos, blocos e telhas, no estado do Rio Grande do Sul (RS), apontando estratégias que podem ser adotadas pelo setor para melhorar seu impacto no meio ambiente e na comunidade onde as indústrias estão inseridas. Foram desenvolvidos múltiplos-estudos de caso, envolvendo oito empresas do setor de pequeno, médio e grande porte, nas quais foram levantados dados sobre matéria-prima, energético utilizado, geração de resíduos, fontes de emissões de CO2 e condições de trabalho. Constatou-se que o setor de cerâmica vermelha no RS vem realizando um conjunto de iniciativas relacionadas à redução do seu impacto ambiental, tais como o uso de resíduos como insumo e o uso de energia renovável. Entretanto, observou-se também a necessidade de diminuir perdas no processo de produção, bem como de melhorar as condições de trabalho e a organização do processo de produção.
