Updates on WEEE Recycling in Brazil January 2019 - (PPT)

摘要

It becomes mandatory the practice of reverse logistics operations, giving the responsibilities to the producers for duly sending originated from post consumption of its products. However, punctuate that after ten years of the regulation of Law 12.305/2010, the implementation of reverse logistics in Brazil to WEEE practically has not occurred yet. There is lack of political acceptability between government, electronic producers and other stakeholders, which comprises tax incentives and many others difficulties regarding the aspect of administrative feasibility; E-waste falls into the coverage of the National Waste Policy, which required the implementation of a specific sectoral agreement for WEEE. The sectoral agreement is composed of contracts between the government, the manufacturers, the importers, the distributors, or the vendors, with an aim of implementing the shared responsibility concept to the EEE goods. It was first drafted in 2013, but was just signed 2 months ago; Once defined a unique NGO as a responsible to manage the whole collection of WEEE, a considerable concern from all involved (and serious) players is the real possibility of increasing informal collection and dismantling systems, which is already widespread in several areas. Some attempts are developing to include or coordinate it in the formal system aiming to avoid unfair competition/environmental issues, even with the NGO's limitation/lack of know-how; One of the main mistakes on the sectoral agreement is to set some annual targets starting in 2021, aiming a percentage of collected material based on the weight of total products sold in the previous year… What about at least part of that 94% from all of other years?
