O problema da obsolescência programada sob a ótica do direito ambiental e consumerista no Brasil: um contraponto com o modelo de gestão de consumo da pós modernidade

Abstract

This monographic research goes using the aegis of the problem of programmed obsolescence in Brazil, exploring the reasons why this practice can be considered a chain reaction, which brings harm worldwide, as well as a counterpoint with all the importance that the free market attaches to this model of consumer goods management. Thus, via a bibliographical, documentary and jurisprudential research, a parallel is drawn between the economic warming that comes from this process and the social damages caused by the disrespect to the legal regulation that arises from this same practice. The National Policy on Solid Waste is examined, the Consumer Code, the Federal Constitution of 1988 and several other pertinent laws. As a result of different sources, the work sought to find ways to circumvent and solve all this problem, making use of the union between the current laws and exploring harmonic outputs between the two sides in question. So, the present study was conceived to increasingly disseminate the importance of this knowledge about programmed obsolescence, outlining the points that should be taken into consideration to aggregate the scientific study regarding this entire historical economic process. That said, the research brought, based on its initial proposal, written and visual documents; news of international repercussion, as well as theoretical conclusions of several authors that prove the real gravity of the issue of obsolescence. Besides, we have brought some of the possible ways to mitigate the consequences of this whole event. Also, in the long term, the real positive impacts of conscious change would be with the assistance of the government support; through the joint between the three powers of the republic.
