Uma análise da logística reversa das embalagens vazias de agrotóxico em Holambra-SP

Abstract

The reverse logistics process has received more attention in recent years due to legal requirements or by the propagation of greater awareness from society. Seen in these terms, the research was made by considering qualitative and descriptive approach, with a bibliographical and documentary survey, as well as a case study carried out at the collection point of empty agrochemical containers at Holambra-SP. The objective is to analyze and understand the reverse logistics within the process of using agro-chemicals at Holambra, which is the largest producer of flowers in the country, resulting in a large consumption of agrochemicals, such as pesticides and fertilizers. Among the observations made, even though it is of great importance and there are regulatory laws, reverse logistics occurs in a slow way once it does not receive special attention from the government, some companies and many social segments that remain outside its structures and means.
