Logística reversa das embalagens de agrotóxicos na Zona da Mata pernambucana : a responsabilidade socioambiental dos usuários.

Abstract

The reverse logistics can be defined as the logistics actives of collection, dismantling and processes of products and materials in order to ensure a sustainable recovery or disposal. Due to laws regulating the sector of chemical industry, it is supervised and held accountable for their waste generated. Thus highlighting the need for the study of reverse logistic as a means to organize the sector and bring it to the laws. The theme of this work due to the need to investigate the processes and difficulties in returning the packaging of pesticides, after using the product. This work has as main objective to analyze the process of returning the empty pesticide containers at the mills in the Zona Mata of Pernambuco, the involvement of actors and their participation in the process of returning the empty pesticide containers, and to investigate the final destination (recycling, incineration and discard) the packaging of pesticides, and check the environmental perception. Our universe was composed of 18 sugar and alcohol of the state of Pernambuco associated Arpan (Association of Dealers of agricultural Products in Northeast).Exploratory research / descriptively designed to provide greater familiarity with the problem. The work was divided into two stages of ways to approach different, though complementary. Qualitative and quantitative approach, so to obtain the primary data, applied a questionnaire with closed questions in a direct way with 20 questions, divided into two parts, one on reverse logistic of packaging and another on social and environmental responsibility. After classification and categorization of information, we proceeded to a quantitative data analysis using the following techniques: frequency distribution and correlation of Spearman (non parametric) that enable visualization and clarity of the information collected, because the various correlations significant. Considering the results presented come to some conclusions as is necessary for companies to improve their employees, suppliers, vendors and consumers, showing its importance, and it deserves attention within the organization. Many companies engage in reverse logistics mainly due to government regulation or legal pressure from environmental agencies. In companies is well organized an paid. We conclude the need for further study that can develop or adapt models or programs to collect these packages in order to benefit all involved the chain of reverse logistics in the region.
