Pulp, having its legal nature defined in the face of legal protection of environmental resources (environmental goods), links its use in the scope of economic activities to environmental law, that is, so that pulp companies can lawfully develop economic activity linked to the use of said environmental resource must obey the environmental legislation that establishes the theme. Hence the need to carry out the present research from the hermeneutical method, by means of the survey of the doctrinal work elaborated by specialized scholars working within the scope of the subject investigated, with the purpose of demonstrating that once the specific rules of constitutional environmental law have been observed ( particularly Articles 225, 225, § 1, IV and 225, § 3 Federal Constitution ), as well as the structural aspects of the cause of environmental obligations (obligations to do or not to make subordinate to the principles of prevention and the polluter pays) economic activities can lawfully develop their activities in light of our current legal system.
