abstract

Reverse logistics implementation of electrical and electronic equipment waste (WEEE) and its components has been a major concern for the Brazilian government and the private sector in the last decades. This paper proposes a description of the Brazilian WEEE proper disposal or reverse logistics credits (RLC) market and also an analogy with the carbon credit market. In order to reach this purpose a descriptive research was carried out, focusing on the study of the RLC market of WEEE in Brazil. Some specialists involved in this context were consulted regarding their perspectives for this market and the main motivations for environmental appropriate disposal of WEEE. It was discovered that the majority of the stakeholders agree thatthe reverse logistics credit marketis a possibility, but currently there are multiple obstacles to its implementation. Regarding the comparison of RLC with the carbon credit market, there are still many aspects to be developed before the RLC market becomes a reality. The Brazilian RLC market still does not have any legal support to work on, no organization to control and audit the market, and no support from the government.

5. Concluding remarks

The majority of the interviewed stakeholders agree that the credit market for reverse logistics is a possibility, but at the current moment there are multiple obstacles to its implementation. One of the main barriers that emerged was the government’s support for the regulation of such market, and the lack of registration of all WEEE as proposed by SINIR. In addition, the operational costs of reverse logistics of WEEE, considering that Brazil is a country of continental dimensions was also appointed as major obstacle by stakeholders. The issue of “orphan products” should be addressed by the government and rules for this kind of waste should be created. Besides that, there is the need to sort out the third party certification for the viability of RLC to be credible. As established in Law no. 12.651/2012, related to the Forest Code, which defines the existence of environmental reserve quotas for compliance, it would be necessary, the existence of the legal support as such for the trading of RLCs. If the government takes the initiative to regulate the market for WEEE RLCs, it will be possible that the implementation of RLC market is materialized in Brazil. It should be emphasized that this is listed as one of the main difficulties and concerns in enabling the RLC market by respondents.
