Thinking about these two aspects, this paper discusses the importance of reverse logistics and maintenance of its distribution channels to collaborate with the reduction of business costs through the collection of aftermarket products and post-consumer mainly batteries and cell, which will be presented in this work, adapting them and reintroducing them in the production process and subsequently in the secondary market and thus reduces the amount of waste electronics in inappropriate places.
