Práticas de gestão ambiental voltadas à logística reversa de embalagens na indústria vinícola

Abstract

Reverse logistic of packages is a relevant issue on the current context, especially after the approval of the National Solid Waste Policy - NSWP, established by Law No. 12.305/2010. Tied to the concept of sustainability, all the actors involved on the supply chain have a common responsibility of the management and correct distribution of waste generated. In Brazil, the vitiviniculture is concentrated in Rio Grande do Sul, more specifically in the Serra Gaúcha, nevertheless, there isn’t a defined reverse logistic chain, that fulfils effectively the national legislation. The territory of Vale dos Vinhedos is in that region and it was the first geographic indication recognized in the country, therefore, it became a reference for the national vitiviniculture field. The wine industry traditionally use glass package in your productive process, thus, generated a large amount of this disposal after the consume, because the bottle its use just one time, also employed plastic, paper and metal. Thus, this work proposed identify the practices of environmental management towards to reverse logistic of after-use packages, followed by wineries located in Vale dos Vinhedos and associated to Aprovale – Associação dos Produtores de Vinhos Finos do Vale dos Vinhedos. Through library research it was explored the concepts of sustainability, environmental management and reverse logistic, beside the interlinked these concepts between them and with the NSWP. To clear understand the flow of reverse logistic of package from the vitiviniculture, it was decided outline a generic model of wine supply chain, based on literature. Afterwards, has been produced a questionnaire to verifind which practices of environmental management and reverse logistic are adopted by the corporations. Thereafter, it was carry out a study of multiples cases in the wineries industries on the defined region, with the application of the structured questionnaire, characterize this study how exploratory and quali-quantitative approach. It were analyzed six companies, identified like V1, V2, V3, V4, V5 and V6. The review the results prove that all the wineries have the environmental licence and the SRMP - Solid Residues Management Plan - updated, how is indicated on the legislation. The results showed that the companies not realise campaigns from the awareness of the consumers, as well as does not having initiative to do the installation of collection points or agreements with suppliers for gather the after-use packages. The reverse logistic of packages its observed just on companie V4, by the way, it's the only one thats have investments in cooperatives and associations of recyclable material collectors. Based on these data, it was suggested the implementation of a reverse logistic system that involve the consumers, in compliance with current legislation.
