Brasil Pack Trends 2020

BrasilPackTrends2020 181 sustainabi l ity & ethics The mandatory structuring of reverse logistics systems with collection of the remaining residues and products after use, and subsequent environmentally adequate final disposal, is aimed at the manufacturers, importers, suppliers and vendors of: • Agrotoxics and products that, after use, are characterized as harmful residues. • Batteries and battery packs. • Tyres. • Lubricant oils, their residues and packages. • Fluorescent, sodium and mercury-vapor lamps and mixed light. • Electro-electronics products and their components. Sectorial agreements firmed between the Public Power and the business sector are extended to commercialized items in plastic, metallic and glass packages, and to the other products and packages, firstly considering the degree and impact of the produced residues on the public health and the environment. The definition of those products and packages will consider the technical viability and economy of the reverse logistics, as well as the degree and extension of the impact to the public health and environment by the produced residues. The following means for structuring the reverse logistics system are considered: • Implementation of procedures for ordering used products and packages. • Make available collecting stations of reusable and recyclable residues. • Acting in partnership with cooperatives or other forms of reusable and recyclable material pickers’ association. The sectorial agreements and those ones firmed on a national scale prevail over the ones firmed on a regional or State scale, and these ones over the ones firmed on a municipal scale. The consumers shall make the disposal, after use, to the products and packages vendors or suppliers and for other products and packages, an object of reverse logistics. Every time that a selective collection system is established by the municipal plan of solid residues integrated management, the consumers are obligated to: • Sort the produced residues in a different way. • Make the solid and reusable residues and recyclables available for collection and return. The municipal public power can institute economic incentives to the consumers that are part of the selective collection in the form of a municipal law. It is attributed to the titular of the urban cleaning and solid residues handling public services: • Adopt procedures to reuse the solid residues and recyclables from their services. • Establish a selective collection system. • Articulate with the economic and social agents to make the return to the productive cycle of the reusable solid residues and recyclables viable, from the urban cleaning services and handling of solid residues. • Perform the activities defined by sectorial agreement or compromise at the right remuneration by the entrepreneurial sector. • Implant a system of composting for organic solid residues and articulate with the economic and social agents forms of use for the produced compound. The dump of residues on beaches, in the sea or in any water body, as well as open landfills, and their openly incineration, are forbidden forms of final disposal. Transitional and Final Provisions (T-IV) The damages caused by actions or omissions of people and companies that produce harmful activities to the environment will have predicted sanctions under the present laws. The environmentally adequate final disposal of the refuses in landfills with the program of toxic gases emission approved by the environmental organ should
