sustainability & 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
