Reverse logistics of solid waste in civil construction

Abstract

It is estimated that more than 50% of solid waste generated by human activity comes from civil construction, where 98% could be recycled. Taking these data into account, CONAMA Resolution 307/2002 determines for the proper management of civil construction waste (RCC), and in 2010 the National Solid Waste Policy was published, determining reverse logistics. Given the above, this research aims to verify the application of reverse logistics in civil construction in Brazil, through data published in other articles, performing an integrative literature review. This is an integrative literature review, descriptive-exploratory and qualitative approach, through a literature search, referring to reverse logistics in civil construction, carried out through Google Academic, with publications between 2020 and 2021. 13 articles were selected for the construction of the research, with studies carried out throughout the national territory. Although there are studies that show good results, they all have some flaw, either on the part of the companies that generate RCC, or on the part of Organs public bodies for inspection. No study includes all the determinations of CONAMA Resolution 307/2002 and the PNRS. There is a need for companies to implement the Civil Construction Solid Waste Management Program (PGRCC) in civil construction, in addition to a need for city halls to properly inspect companies. Where should one seek to apply fines to companies that do not conform to current regulations, so that reverse logistics can be applied in Brazil.
