“…This result also accords with a study by Willers et al (2013), who analyzed 80 Brazilian articles on LCA. The authors found that most publications addressed LCA as a management tool; only 17 articles applied this assessment method in a case study (11 used LCA to evaluate productive processes and 6 compared materials or processes).…”

“…The spread of LCA in the country can be seen through the increase in the number of theses, dissertations, and other publications on this assessment method (Lima 2007;Willers et al 2013;Xavier et al 2014;Cherubini and Ribeiro 2015). Currently, Brazil accounts for 1.72 % of the world's scientific production, as calculated using the number of articles published in ISI/Web of Science (WoS).…”

Purpose This paper aims to present an overview of the research groups on life cycle assessment (LCA) in Brazil to (i) characterize these groups, including their constitution, geographical distribution, and the nature of the institutions to which they are connected; (ii) classify the groups according to the knowledge areas and identify the existing interdisciplinarity between research lines; (iii) identify collaborative relationships between the groups; and (iv) determine the main focus of interest and applicability of the studies and activities developed.Methods The identification of and information about the groups that developed studies related to LCA were obtained from a survey of the Brazilian Directory of Research Groups (DRG). Interdisciplinarity was based on the classification of each group's lines of research. Collaborative relationships were identified from co-authored publications indexed in the Web of Science. The research groups' focus was defined based on their descriptions and sectors of activity, as reported in the DRG. Results and discussionThe study covered a total of 82 groups and 510 research lines. Among the findings, the following can be cited: there is great regional asymmetry in the distribution of groups; most of them are linked to universities and are located in Engineering, specifically Industrial, Mechanical, Sanitary, and Civil; there is an interdisciplinary approach that covers 49 areas of knowledge; and the main focus of the groups is related to sectors of activity such as energy (emphasis on biofuels), agriculture and livestock, and construction. Some groups developed studies with practical applications, whereas others focused on conceptual aspects related to environmental management and sustainable development. Conclusions The number of research groups related to LCA has grown in Brazil. This growth is important, especially for a country such as Brazil, which has continental dimensions and a number of regional specificities. However, a vast field of study remains to be explored, and this assessment method needs to be disseminated more widely in some regions of the country.

“…(WILLERS et al, 2013) Segundo Carvalho e Xavier (2014), pode-se dizer que a análise do ciclo de vida realiza a identificação e medição do consumo de energia, o de materiais utilizados na fabricação e a quantidade de resíduos gerados, bem como a avaliação dos impactos ao meio ambiente de todo esse processo, identificando oportunidades de minimizar recursos e de otimizar a sua eficiência desde a fabricação até a disposição final.…”

ResumoA responsabilidade compartilhada pelo ciclo de vida dos produtos é o conjunto de atribuições individualizadas e encadeadas dos fabricantes, importadores, distribuidores, comerciantes, consumidores e dos titulares dos serviços públicos de limpeza urbana e manejo dos resíduos sólidos, para minimizar o volume de resíduos sólidos, reduzindo impactos causados à saúde humana e qualidade ambiental decorrentes do ciclo de vida dos produtos. Em vista do crescente consumo que vem ocorrendo, o volume de matéria-prima e a preocupação com o meio ambiente exige das organizações a reestruturação dos seus sistemas logísticos, bem como estabelecimento de diretrizes e estratégias visando à preservação ambiental. Neste estudo, pretende-se demonstrar a importância relevante e positiva da logística reversa, no contexto de medidas empresariais conservacionistas e suas relações com os aspectos econômico, social e ambiental, de modo que a mesma efetivamente complete todo o respectivo ciclo. A metodologia utilizada é qualiquantitativa, com base em uma revisão bibliográfica em livros e artigos técnico-científicos que tratam sobre o tema. Até o ano de 2020, apurou-se chegar a mais de 1.249,41 mil toneladas de resíduos de equipamentos eletroeletrônicos brasileiros, evidenciando a necessidade da sociedade e organizações efetivarem ações na sustentabilidade.Palavras-chaves: Logística reversa. Resíduos eletrônicos. Sustentabilidade. Meio ambiente. AbstractThe shared responsibility for the product life cycle is the set of individualized and chained allocations of manufacturers, importers, distributors, traders, consumers and holders of public services of urban cleaning and solid waste management, to minimize the volume of solid waste, reducing impacts to human health and environmental quality resulting from the product life cycle. In view of the increasing consumption that has been occurring, the volume of raw material and concern for the environment require the organizations to restructure their logistics systems, as well as establishing guidelines and strategies aimed at environmental preservation. In this study, we intend to demonstrate the significant and positive importance of reverse logistics, in the context of conservationist business measures and their relationship with economic, social and environmental aspects, so that it effectively completes the respective cycle. The methodology used is qualitative quantitative, based on a bibliographical review in books and technical-scientific articles that deal with the subject. By the year 2020, it was estimated that more than 1,249.41 tons of waste of Brazilian electrical and electronic equipment was produced, highlighting the need for society and organizations to take action on sustainability.

“…LCA is a tool that can be applied in the optimization of production systems, improving market competitiveness through policies and practices that improve or increase sustainability [19]. LCA is the collection and evaluation of inputs and outputs and the potential environmental impacts of a product system throughout its life cycle [20]. It is a new way of applying knowledge, which allows to solve existing environmental problems generated throughout the production chain to achieve significant improvements in intensification processes.…”
