Classificação de resíduos sólidos e logística reversa aplicadas em uma empresa do setor rodoviário de passageiros de Bagé - RS

Abstract

Logistics has existed since ancient times where it was used by military personnel responsible for financing and disributing supplies em wars. Currently, logistics is present, allowing society to access the most varied products, at the necessary time, place and quantity, at the lowest possible cost. However, over the years, consumers began to value environmental aspects more and not only those related to quality and cost. In this way, reverse logistics emerged, which establishes a set of actions, procedures and means designed to enable the collection and return of solid waste to the business sector, for reuse or for environmentally appropriate final disposal. This TCC was carried out with the aim of a study to classify solid waste and understand the reverse logistics processes in a company in the passenger road sector in the city of Bagé (RS). The methodology used was quantitative and carried out through interviews with employees and on-site visits. The results showed that the waste produced is stored in the company where it is generated. The classification of solid waste followed Standard NBR 10004 (ABNT, 2004) and showed that fluorescent lamps, OLUC, tow impregnated with oils and grease, oil filters and automotive batteries are Class I – Hazardous and metals and tires are Class II B - Inert. Verification of the effectiveness of the LR of solid waste according to the requirements established by the PNRS (BRASIL, 2010), showed that only fluorescent lamps do not follow what is established by the PNRS, but the OLUC, automotive batteries and tires follow the legal procedures of the LR. It was possible to suggest improvements to the company, such as implementing reverse logistics for fluorescent lamps, disposing of tow that is impregnated with oil and grease and oil filters in the city of Bagé itself, and hiring a company specialized in tire disposal. , to come and collect them in Bagé. This TCC made it possible to verify that Company X carries out work that complies, for the most part, with current legislation regarding waste disposal.
