Logística reversa dos óleos lubrificantes e suas embalagens de pós-consumo: Um estudo em um posto de combustível localizado na cidade de Alagoinhas-BA

Abstract

The lubricating oils and post-consumer packaging are considered dangerous goods according to ABNT NBR 10.004, since these are disposed improperly into the environment causing environmental impacts, as the resolution CONAMA no 362/2005. In this sense, the reverse logistics comes with a tool for sustainable development that seeks to reinsert the waste in the production chain, in order to add value to these materials from the PCR process. Thus, the present research aimed to analyze and describe the process of reverse logistics in a fuel filling station located in the city of Alagoinhas, Bahia. However, the study is considered to be of a qualitative nature, in which, through a technical visit and application of a questionnaire, it was possible to gather information regarding the waste disposal of trade of lubricating oils. Through the results, it was possible to show that the post carries out the collection of used lubricating oil and contaminated, noting that the establishment meets the majority of the laws established by environmental agencies, however it has been seen that the company does not provide the proper disposal of contaminated containers, these being dumped in the trash, along with residual oil resulting from exchanges of lubricating oils.
