Description

O sistema de logística reversa visa a execução de um conjunto de ações, procedimentos e meios destinados a viabilizar a coleta e a restituição dos resíduos sólidos ao setor empresarial, para reaproveitamento, em seu ciclo ou em outros ciclos produtivos, ou outra destinação final ambientalmente adequada. É  um instrumento de coordenação e integração dos sistemas de logística reversa com vistas a potencializar o alcance dos resultados dos diferentes sistemas no país – estejam eles já implementados ou em processo.

O Programa Nacional de Logística Reversa é um instrumento de coordenação e de integração dos sistemas de logística revers.  e tem como objetivos:
I - otimizar a implementação e a operacionalização da infraestrutura física e logística;
II - proporcionar ganhos de escala; e
III - possibilitar a sinergia entre os sistemas.

O sistema de logística reversa visa a execução de um conjunto de ações, procedimentos e meios destinados a viabilizar a coleta e a restituição dos resíduos sólidos ao setor empresarial, para reaproveitamento, em seu ciclo ou em outros ciclos produtivos, ou outra destinação final ambientalmente adequada. Os materiais orientados para o Programa Nacional de Logística Reversa são: defensivos agrícolas, lâmpadas, pneus, óleos lubrificantes, e embalagens de óleos lubrificantes, pilhas e baterias, eletroeletrônicos, baterias de chumbo.

Em 2021 foram inauguração de 11 centrais de logística reversa de eletroeletrônicos. O sistema de logística reversa de eletroeletrônicos, instituído em 2020, registrou avanços
concretos em 2021 com a instalação de 3.152 pontos de descarte adequado, beneficiando 1.216 municípios já no seu primeiro ano de implementação. Centrais de logística reversa
instaladas em 11 capitais, abrangendo todas as regiões do Brasil.

Geographic coverage

Reverse logistics centers have already been installed in the following capital cities:
2021: Campo Grande, Florianópolis, Vitória, Manaus, Maceió; Federal District, Curitiba and Rio de Janeiro, Goiânia, Porto Alegre and Porto Velho.

2022:  Aracaju, Cuiabá, Boa Vista, Macapá, Belém, Palmas, João Pessoa, São Luís, Rio Branco, Teresina, Belo Horizonte, São Paulo, Salvador and Natal.

The goal of the Ministry of the Environment is to reach 5 thousand collection points by 2025, of which 3,100 were already implemented in 2020, more than 275 thousand tons of batteries were collected and destined for recycling, which allowed the recycling of 144 thousand tons of lead.

Duration

2021 to 2025

Implementation strategy

Cooperation Agreements (or Terms) between the city halls and ABREE to formalize the hiring of companies performing reverse logistics services.

In addition, success of the actions depends on: the proper management of MSW by municipalities; manufacturers, importers, distributors and traders of products whose reverse logistics system is provided for by law or regulation, to develop the products, communication, collection and reinsertion of waste in the productive market through the reverse logistics system; consumers, who need to properly and in a segregated manner pack the solid waste generated and adequately make reusable and recyclable solid waste available for collection or return, ceasing their responsibility only with return to the appropriate places.

Diffusion strategies

• Formalization of the Program through a Federal Decree;
• Inclusion of the Program in the Brazilian Solid Waste Plan (Planares)
• Communication Strategies implemented by the public entity executing the Program
• Communication Strategies implemented by associations of waste pickers involved in the Program

Monitoring strategies

This program will be monitored by the SINIR+ (Brazilian Solid Waste Management Information System) platform. The data from the collections are managed by the municipalities that implemented the program. The data is returned to the MMA, manager of the monitoring system.

Financing mechanisms

Federal Government Resource. MMA is transferred to the municipalities that:
• have a Municipal (or regional) Solid Waste Management Plan; 
• are in compliance with the last statement of information with SINIR;
• comply with the mandatory requirements for access to Federal Government resources set forth in Laws and regulations.
