Logística reversa: estudo dos procedimentos realizados pelo inpev no período da pandemia da COVID-19

Abstract

With the increasing population increase expected over the years, concern with food production to meet human needs is a growing factor. For this, the use of pesticides is essential to obtain greater productivity in crops. Another factor of concern, however, is in the post-use of packaging, because when discarded incorrectly it can cause irreversible damage to nature. In this way, the present research seeks to understand how the performance of the collection of these packages by the Instituto Nacional de Processamento de Embalagens Vazias – INPEV was even in pandemic times, checking for changes in legislation, its performance, adoption of preventive care and other necessary adaptations. The research was carried out through official reports from INPEV and later a technical visit to the packaging receiving center in the city of Dourados-MS. As a result, it was found that the changes that took place in the collection of empty packaging in the pandemic were the temporary reduction in operability, the adoption of preventive care against the spread of Covid-19, psychological assistance via SAC to employees. There were no changes in the legislation specific to the collection of empty packaging. The annual goal of collecting empty packaging in 2020 was achieved despite the difficulties of the moment.
