“…During monitoring, no cell phones were found, despite being the most frequently replaced electro‐electronic equipment in the world and Brazil. [ 17,26 ] Some factors justify the absence of these devices in e‐waste: [ 17,27,28,29 ] i) Brazilians usually store obsolete or broken appliances at home for repair or use in emergencies; and ii) the sale, exchange, or resale of obsolete or broken appliances. According to Sarath et al., refurbishing or recycling cell phones is economically and environmentally viable at a maximum efficiency since consumers are aware of the importance of such activity.…”

High e‐waste production has become a growing worldwide challenge in waste management. Several studies show negative consequences for the environment and public health from improper e‐waste management. In this context, this paper presents a characterization of e‐waste sent to recyclable waste picker cooperatives in a Brazilian city. E‐waste is mistakenly disposed of by the population as common recyclable waste and collected through special selective collection programs. The research also evaluated aspects related to the risks and opportunities inherent to e‐waste handling by cooperatives. The results showed that i) the population very often discards e‐waste along with common recyclable waste; ii) cooperative members unsafely dismantle e‐waste for resale, because the profitability of these materials is much higher than that of ordinary recyclables; and iii) the municipality must make the population aware of the separation and disposal of e‐waste. More than just a challenge for managers, proper e‐waste management is a market with high environmental and economic potential, both negative and positive, and complete knowledge and mastery of it will show what will prevail. The results of this research may support a proposal for continuous monitoring and analysis of the flow of e‐waste to better manage this type of waste.

“…Embora os custos com logística reversa se aproximem de 6% do faturamento de uma organização, os materiais recuperados por esta atividade podem ser revendidos, trazendo retorno financeiro (Leite, 2017). Outro fator importante do reuso é a diminuição no custo e esforço de mineração, segundo a UNU-IAS (2015), que são diretamente influenciados pelo design de produto e pela obsolescência programada, visto que o primeiro deve propiciar a reciclagem dos materiais e o segundo acelerar o ciclo de vida dos produtos, aumentando a quantidade de REEE (Gigante et al, 2012, Rodrigues, Gunther & Boscov, 2015.…”

ResumoEste artigo tem como objetivo identificar os requisitos necessários a uma plataforma multilateral que permita a indicação e encaminhamento de REEE, no final da vida útil ou inutilizados, para locais onde seu descarte será realizado de forma adequado, com um modelo de negócio sustentável. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza tecnológica, aplicada, visando produzir o delineamento de uma plataforma de software. A pesquisa teve abordagem qualitativa à medida que procurou compreender as necessidades das partes interessadas na logística reversa de REEE. Utilizou-se o procedimento de estudo de campo para levantar os Research, Society and Development, v. 9, n. 2, e154922199, 2020 (CC BY 4.0) | ISSN 2525-3409 | DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.33448/rsd-v9i2.2199 2 requisitos necessários à plataforma e compreender como funciona o descarte de REEE, visando criar uma solução aplicável à realidade. As entrevistas foram conduzidas em duas cooperativas e uma recicladora, que atende a diversos fabricantes, terceirizando a logística reversa para eles. Quanto à originalidade, nenhuma plataforma de software com as características e modelo de negócios propostos foi identificada, tanto na literatura como em pesquisas na Internet, apesar de existirem aplicativos para este seguimento. Com base nos requisitos levantados no estudo de campo foi desenvolvido um produto mínimo viável (MVP) da plataforma multilateral denominada REEEcicla, em conjunto com um modelo de negócios.O MVP foi testado com duas cooperativas e uma OSCIP. Não houve oportunidade de testes com consumidores. Em termos de contribuições teóricas/metodológicas, o artigo utiliza uma abordagem interdisciplinar e propõe uma aplicação pratica e inovadora do uso de uma plataforma tecnologica e de um modelo de negócio para melhorar o tratamento de REEE. Palavras-chave: Logística Reversa; Plataformas Multilaterais; REEE; Sistemas Produtivos. AbstractThis paper aims to identify the necessary requirements for a multilateral platform that allows the indication and referral of WEEE, at the end of its useful life or unused, to places where it will be properly disposed of with a sustainable business model. This research has a technological nature, applied, aiming to produce the software platform design. The research took a qualitative approach as it sought to understand the needs of stakeholders in reverse WEEE logistics. The field study procedure was used to raise the necessary requirements for the platform and to understand how WEEE disposal works, in order to create a solution applicable to reality. The interviews were conducted in two cooperatives and one recycler, which serves several manufacturers, outsourcing reverse logistics to them. As for originality, no software platform with the proposed features and business model has been identified, either in the literature or in Internet research, although there are applications for this followup. Based on the requirements raised in the field study, a minimum viable product (MVP) of the multilateral platform called REEEcicla was develop...

The amount and complexity of solid waste are intensified with the occurrence of natural disasters, compromising response and recovery actions, causing unplanned spending, environmental damage, and health impacts. The proper management of disaster waste requires knowledge of its characteristics such as quantity, composition, hazard, and management by the identified waste stream. This article aims at the characterization and quantification of disaster waste arisen from an event of intense rains, which occurred in 2013, in the municipalities of the State of Espírito Santo in Brazil. For characterization, an online survey instrument was developed and applied in institutions responsible for waste management. The survey was associated with a documentary analysis of photographic records and information obtained from the government database. Estimation of the amount of waste generated was carried out in a selected set using a method already applied in the south of the country. It was adapted to local characteristics and later compared with surveys carried out by the municipality. The characterization identified sediments, soil and mud, remains of vegetation, furniture, wood, and discarded scrap as the main generated waste. The estimated additional generation for durable consumer goods of around 1,700 tons of waste was lower than the municipal records (7,436.46 t) in the period. It was associated with the specific low weight of the considered affected goods and the inclusion of other residues in the data obtained in the city hall records. The methods used in the characterization and quantification presented application viability, through adjustments, and represented an important contribution to municipal disaster management to make cities able to face climate change, carrying out safe management of disaster waste.
