A SUSTENTABILIDADE NA LOGÍSTICA REVERSA DE EMBALAGENS DE DEFENSIVOS AGRÍCOLAS NO BRASIL COM FOCO EM RIO VERDE- GO

Abstract

With the increase in world population, the demand for food is constantly growing. As a result, it is necessary to produce more and more in areas of equal size or smaller. As a way to meet this need, producers use pesticides or pesticides that optimize production but have the disadvantage of producing solid waste that causes damage to the environment if mishandled and misused. The present work was developed to evaluate the operation of reverse pesticide packaging logistics in Brazil, especially in the Midwest Region and in the city of Rio Verde - GO, as a way to contribute to environmental preservation and sustainability. A bibliographic survey was carried out in order to know the concepts and usability of pesticides and the reverse logistics process in the national territory, focusing on the state of Goiás. This survey also analyzed the current laws that regulate the life cycle of packaging. It has been found that with the Campo Limpo System, Brazil has become a benchmark in the correct disposal of pesticide packaging and that much can be done to improve the effectiveness of the program in order to preserve the environment and natural resources.

Keywords: reverse logistics, pesticides, sustainability.
