A Logística Reversa Associada E Aplicada A Óleos Lubrificantes, Seus Resíduos E Embalagens

Abstract

The Reverse Logistics - LR - is an instrument of economic and social development, which is intended to enable the collection and restitution of solid waste to the business sector, for reuse in the production log. In Brazil, the National Solid Waste Policy, through Law 12305 of 2010, establishes reverse logistics practices for the lubricating oil sector. Used or Contaminated Lubricating Oil - OLUC - is highly toxic to the environment and human health. It is rich in heavy metals and organic acids, highly polluting substances, and its incorrect disposal can lead to chemical contamination, with irreversible damages. The Resolution of the National Environmental Council (CONAMA) No. 362 of 2005, amended by CONAMA Resolution No. 450 of 2012, provides for the collection, collection and final destination of used or contaminated lubricating oil. However, there are still many challenges in complying with these Resolutions. This work aimed to perform an analysis on the associated Reverse Logistics and applied to Lubricating Oils, their Residues and Packaging in Brazil. The research is of theoretical conceptual nature, based on a bibliographic study, through exploratory and selective reading, having as a research universe the reverse logistics and lubricating oil. It was verified that the minimum percentages of OLUC collection defined by regulations for Brazil have been reached in most of the analyzed years. The indicators show that the goals defined by the Interministerial Ordinance are realistic and feasible and tend to increase the percentage in the coming years. Even so, the LR applied to OLUC needs to be optimized in the country and all agents involved must be adequate to the current legislation. Thus, efforts must be made to achieve the progressive increase of OLUC collections, the greater effectiveness of the inspection as the obligation of LR and the greater awareness of the population, through a better environmental education.
