Resumo
The study aimed to present the reverse logistics of post-consumer plastic and its
impact on the environment, adopting a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive
approach methodology, aiming to point out some of the environmental impacts arising
from its inadequate post-consumption disposal and to indicate possible mitigation
practices. The research identified impacts such as pollution of rivers, seas and oceans,
causing the death of marine species, pollution of soils, decreasing the useful life of
landfills and air pollution, when plastic waste is incinerated in places that are not
regulated. With the growth of the markets, accompanied by competitiveness and new
technologies, the process of industrialization and consumption of plastic also
increased and consequently the generation of waste. This evolution has a direct impact
on the degradation of the environment, causing innumerable harm, especially given
the inappropriate disposal of this waste. Disposing plastic waste in the right place is a
challenge for industries. The research started from the following question: How to
mitigate the environmental impacts of the inappropriate disposal of post-consumer
plastic through reverse logistics? The importance of implementing reverse logistics as
a strategic tool in companies is verified, enabling the economy through improvements
in their organizational processes for planning and controlling items after consumption,
with the objective of mitigating the environmental impacts caused by the incorrect
disposal of waste and reuse these discarded materials, avoiding irregular deposits.
