A aplicabilidade e eficácia da responsabilidade compartilhada pelo ciclo de vida do produto - Lei n. 12.305/10 - acerca da gestão dos resíduos eletroeletrônicos

Abstract

Historically, waste generation, on scales variables from different sources and species, including waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), with several social and environmental impacts can be understood as inherent in human life and development of their social relations. In Brazil, the National Policy on Solid Waste (PNRS), already far behind schedule established by Federal Law No. 12.305 / 2010 and regulated by Decree No. 7,404 / 2010 established a shared responsibility scheme by the product life cycle, from taking place numerous legal duties for the supply chain, for example, the obligation to design and implement reverse logistics systems for consumer electronics products and their components. Compared to European regulation of WEEE and even the Brazilian regulatory situation from other types of waste which require reverse logistics, still shows quite shy in Brazil the regulation of WEEE, not existing nowadays a federal regulatory framework that provides a simple definition of what constitutes WEEE properly, despite some state and local legislative experience, and even with the advent of PNRS finally included electrical and electronic products and components in the list of waste species covered by mandatory reverse logistics rules
