The Reverse Logistics System as a Way to Achieve Sustainable Development
Description
As a consequence of a progressive ecological crises, the Environmental Law is forced to adequate itself to be more effective. In Brazil, the Act n. 12.305, from 2010, establishes the National Policy on Solid Waste, which has innovated by introducing the reverse logistics system as one of its instruments. The reverse logistics comprises a set of actions, procedures and means to facilitate the collection and the recovery of solid waste to the business sector. The idea is to reuse the waste on its own or other productive cycles, or even another appropriated disposal. By being committed with the conversion of discarded goods into consumable goods, this paper aims to analyse the reverse logistics system as an instrument capable of promoting the sustainable development, what is essential to ensure the effectiveness of the fundamental right to an ecologically balanced environment. Also in accordance with the Agenda 21, government, companies and non-governmental organizations must cooperate to find solutions for socioenvironmental problems. In the scenario built by a modern society that have established an indiscriminate consume pattern and, as a consequence, is capable of producing an exacerbated amount of waste, the reverse logistics system can increase the awareness of productive sectors as well as a society that grows in an chaotic way ignoring the essentiality of the planet sustainability to the continuity of life in its all forms.
