TITLE:

WASTE ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT MANAGEMENT IN AREAS OF LARGE URBAN CONCENTRATIONS: A CASE STUDY IN RECIFE – PE

KEY WORDS:

Reverse Logistics; WEEE; Collection points; Sustainable management; Geotechnology.

BIG AREA: Engenharias
AREA: Engenharia Sanitária
SUMMARY:

The worldwide production of electrical and electronic equipment increases every year, leading to faster consumption and more frequent disposal of these products, often inappropriately. Faced with this scenario of high generation and potential pollution, legal norms and sectoral agreements were created to improve the reverse logistics system for waste electrical and electronic equipment, seeking a more efficient and sustainable management of this waste. Thus, to achieve full and effective management, it is essential to plan long-term urban development. In view of this, collection points become an important part of the waste electrical and electronic equipment management chain, since the quality of collection together with correct segregation interferes with the performance of subsequent stages. In this way, the research aims to analyze the management practices of waste electrical and electronic equipment in areas of large urban concentrations and the influence of the functionality of the collection points in sustainable management. To this end, four stages were carried out: identification of WEEE management practices in areas with large urban concentrations; qualitatively analyze the means of collection and their relationship with the sustainable management of WEEE; diagnosis of WEEE management in the study area; and application of geotechnologies to assist in the sustainable management of WEEE in the study area. For the development of the stages, some activities were included, such as bibliometric exploratory research in electronic databases, technical visits to areas where waste electrical and electronic equipment is received to identify and characterize collection points and to companies specialized in managing the respective waste, characterization of the city's social vulnerability and creation of thematic maps. The results showed that the theme is relevant in the national and international scientific literature, and despite the existence of norms and public policies for the proper management of waste electrical and electronic equipment, there are still inspection and monitoring challenges. It was also highlighted that the city of Recife does not have enough collection points in many regions, especially in the most vulnerable areas, which are far from the places it has. Some recommendations were proposed to improve the reverse logistics system for waste electrical and electronic equipment in the city, taking into account the demands and specificities of the different neighborhoods.
