CUMPRIMENTO DO DECRETO 10.240/2020 PELOS LOJISTAS DO MUNICÍPIO DE RIO VERDE - GO

Abstract

The objective of the research was to evaluate compliance with Decree 10.240/2020 by shopkeepers in the municipality of Rio Verde/GO. The generation of electronic waste and its proper management are major challenges to be faced both in the national and international scenario. In Brazil, Decree No. 10,240/2020 establishes the Electronic Waste Policy, which establishes a series of obligations for companies in the reverse logistics system for electronic products, whether they are manufacturers, importers, distributors or traders of these materials. Electronic products are classified as technological or electronic product waste and are generated mainly by companies or stores in this sector. As they are hazardous waste, it is necessary that they be disposed of properly. However, due to lack of information and encouragement, environmentally safe measures are not observed, causing impacts to human health and the environment. Decree Nº 10.240/2020 is guided, among other principles, by shared responsibility, in which all those involved in the product life cycle are responsible for the correct disposal of waste. Based on this principle, the reverse logistics instrument was created, which aims to establish collection and final destination actions. The present work presents the research results and the problems caused by the inadequate collection and disposal of electronic waste and its components, as well as proposals to mitigate such procedures.
