    Conceptually Cleaner Production seeks to integrate the continuous utilization of deterrent environmental approaches to processes, products and services aiming to rise efficiency and to minimize the risks to people and environment. Extant literature has shown that the implementation of Cleaner Production practices brings as a result economic and environmental gains. Nevertheless, very few studies link those savings to the Sustainable Development Goals, reason why this research aims to evaluate if the economic and environmental advantages coming from Cleaner Production adoption in the textile industry contributed to the Sustainable Development Goals. This was done through extensive review of the literature, complemented by the proposal of a theoretical framework confirmed through the development of two case studies. As a result, it was concluded that the adoption of Cleaner Production practices in Brazilian textile industries through technological innovation made it possible to highlight the economic and environmental gains relating those to Sustainable Development Goals 9, 12 and 15.
