Abstract

Empty agrotoxics containers are classified as dangerous waste and show risk of human and environmental contamination if disposed incorrectly. This work had as main objective the analysis of reverse logistics of empty agrotoxics containers in the north of Mato Grosso. The methodology used was the bibliographical research, analysis of the main laws, analysis of data on the amount of packaging collected in the State Council of Resales of Agricultural Products - CEARPA, Sinop, Sorriso and Lucas do Rio Verde, and INDEA and IBAMA institutes. The evaluation of the data was by comparison the amount of empty containers of agrotoxics that are properly designed in the Sinop region. It was observed that the INPEV manages efficiently the reverse logistics in the country, contributing to reducing the environmental impact caused by the incorrect disposal of agrotoxics containers, making Brazil as a world reference in reverse logistics of empty pesticide containers. The CEARPA Sinop is a central receiving of packaging fully self-sustainable, showing that, in addition to fulfilling its role in the logistics system of the proper disposal of packaging, contributes to sustainable development of the sector.
