Avaliação da logística reversa de pneus inservíveis em Pedro Afonso-TO

Abstract

The correct disposal of solid waste is a global concern and in Brazil is governed by the National Solid Waste Policy, Law No. 12,305 of 2010, among other things, provides for sectoral agreements and reverse logistics. Tires need proper disposal after being considered unserviceable, because they are considered hazardous solid waste and become a serious environmental problem. Depending on their condition, tires can be recycled or reused, thus increasing their life span. Reciclanip operates throughout Brazil with agreements between private companies and municipalities performing the reverse logistics of unserviceable tires to give them an appropriate destination, but its performance could be broader if there was interest from more municipalities deploying their Ecopoints. Thus, this work aimed to identify and analyze the local institutional environment for the structuring of actions of reverse logistics of unserviceable tires in the municipality of Pedro Afonso, State of Tocantins, for this, it was used the method of action research allied with the municipal government. The methodology consisted of action research, field research and bibliographic research as sources for the collection of information and composition of the theoretical framework. The results were satisfactory, however, they demonstrate that there is still a need for the public authorities, especially at the municipal level, to put into practice the current legislation, making use of reverse logistics, as well as the practice of Sectorial Agreements to reduce costs with the same.
