ESTRATÉGIAS PARA O GERENCIAMENTO SUSTENTÁVEL DE RESÍDUOS ELETRÔNICOS: ESTUDO DE CASO NA UNIVERSIDADE ESTADUAL DE GOIÁS (UEG), UNIDADE UNIVERSITÁRIA DE SANTA HELENA DE GOIÁS

Abstract

Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) is an environmental problem that urgently needs to be managed. Due to industrialization and unbridled consumption of materials and consequently the inappropriate disposal of these materials in the environment, they have caused negative impacts on the planet. With the enactment of Law 12,305 that addresses the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS) in 2010, where the shared responsibility contained in Reverse Logistics for the integrated management of the entire process, from the acquisition of raw materials to final disposal after use by the consumer, must be managed by all the actors involved. In view of this, the objective of this work was to propose a Computer Waste Management Plan for the University Unit of Santa Helena de Goiás of the State University of Goiás. Initially, a bibliographical research was carried out on electrical and electronic waste, followed by the observation of the phenomena involved in the process and, finally, the proposal of the plan that will assist in the management of waste. It is justified by the need to discuss, disseminate and implement a policy aimed at the environmentally sustainable management of waste electrical and electronic equipment, thinking about the appropriate place for storing them. As a result, a waste management plan for a Higher Education Institution (HEI) was obtained, covering from acquisition to final destination. It was found that UnU Santa Helena de Goiás had an initiative to encourage waste recycling, but after the closure of the project there was no action. Information technology material acquisition actions are at the discretion of the information technology (IT) personnel and are based only on the price within the UnU, large volume purchases are under the responsibility of the IT Management in Anápolis, which takes into account sustainability issues. It is suggested the creation and implementation of software that automates and unifies the information.
