The production of red ceramics for construction in the Capibaribe river valley, specifically in the municipality of Paudalho, has grown significantly. However, this growth has occurred without the monitoring of specific studies of the environmental issues involved. The objective of the article is to identify the environmental impacts of this industrial segment. For this, we consider it necessary to apply fast and accurate evaluation tools. Therefore, we use Leopold's Matrix, which has proved to be efficient in delimiting the causes and effects of the activities of ceramists at each stage of production. As a result, we obtained 17 positive and 238 negative impacts, which led us to conclude that there is a significant amount in terms of harmful impacts generated by the sector in the municipality of Paudalho, highlighting the need to establish sustainable actions capable of alleviating the problems that occur in the physical and social environment.
