Logística reversa e leis ambientais no Brasil

This paper aims to demonstrate the relationship between the environmental norms and laws and the reuse of waste and reverse logistic technologies in Brazil. A revision of Brazilian laws, regulations and points of view in environmental management, shows the improvements and perspectives of advanced recycling and reverse logistic technologies enabling companies and enterprises to enhance their recycling capacities and improve their environmental image. We can conclude that reverse logistics can be implemented by various means, but basically requires regulations issued through executive decrees. This is an advantage that must be seized by the business sector, in order to join forces and opportunities to deal with the increasing enormous amounts of waste and the resulting environmental impacts, while achieving positive social and economic results of investments.
