Considering that the large quantity of waste electrical and electronic equipment plastics generated annually causes increasing environmental concerns for their recycling and also for preserving of raw material resources, decreasing of energy consumption, or saving the virgin materials used, the present challenge is considered to be the recovery of individual polymers from waste electrical and electronic equipment. This study aims to provide an update of the main identification methods of waste electrical and electronic equipment such as spectroscopic fingerprinting, thermal study, and sample techniques (like identification code and burning test), and the characteristic values in the case of the different analyses of the polymers commonly used in electrical and electronic equipment. Additionally, the quality of the identification is very important, as, depending on this, new materials with suitable properties can be obtained to be used in different industrial applications. The latest research in the field demonstrated that a complete characterization of individual WEEE (Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment) components is important to obtain information on the chemical and physical properties compared to the original polymers and their compounds. The future directions are heading towards reducing the costs by recycling single polymer plastic waste fractions that can replace virgin plastic at a ratio of almost 1:1.

“…Assim como o uso de sensores para rastreamento como RFID, código de barra ou chips integrados podem possibilitar a identificação e obtenção de informação dos produtos (NATIVI;LEE, 2012;NOWAKOWSKI, 2018). Informações como como peso, tipos de materiais, existência de componentes perigosos e instruções de desmontagem que possibilitem economia no processo operacional de reciclagem (UM; YOON; SUH, 2008).…”

“…A aplicação de sistemas de codificação de dados, aliado ao uso de tecnologias de rastreamento como códigos de barras, chips integrados e identificação por radiofrequência (RFID), podem contribuir na desmontagem e reciclagem de equipamentos elétricos e eletrônicos (NOWAKOWSKI, 2018). Esses sistemas de tecnologia de informação são importantes para gerenciar as operações de logística reversa, mas poucas são as empresas que possuem sistemas de informação para este fim ou priorizam para este tipo de aplicação como as atividades da cadeia de suprimento com a incorporação (HAZEN et al, 2015).…”

“…Com o uso de leitoras próprias parao RFID, os centros de desmontagem podem obter a informação necessária de forma a encaminhar para um processo de reuso, remanufatura ou reciclagem. Dentre as informações armazenadas podem ser encontradas a composição dos materiais para a destinação correta, a quantidade e o peso dos produtos, além de identificar materiais perigosos (NOWAKOWSKI, 2018).…”

“…Na União Europeia, há orientação para que sejam criadas normas de desmontagens fornecidas em manuais, indicação de tipo de materiais, incluindo os materiais perigosos e alguns direcionamentos para remanufatura. Nesse caso o uso de RFID ou código de barras pode ser um facilitador para que essas orientações sejam estimuladas ou regulamentadas (NOWAKOWSKI, 2018).…”

The advancement of technology and the development of new electronic equipment with a reduced life cycle and lower prices have led to the replacement products at an accelerated pace and legislation has forced manufacturers to search for solutions. Reverse logistics is a process where the manufacturer performs the reverse flow of consumer products for possible remanufacturing, recycling, reuse or disposal in a correct way. Information technology plays a key role in mitigating or solving many of the problems in reverse flow. Product Recovery Management System (PRMS) integrates systems and databases of those involved in supply chain management, such as manufacturer, distributors, resellers, service centers and collection and recycling centers, along with use of technologies that allow the tracking and capture of product information in reverse flow, such as Radio-Frequency IDentification (RFID), bar code and integrated chip. The objective of this study is to analyze the contribution of information systems and tracking technologies for the reverse logistics of electronic and electrical waste chains. Through a single case study incorporated with units of analysis were researched: manufacturers, distributor, retailer, technical assistance, recyclers and cooperative. The instruments of data collection used were semi-structured interviews, documentary research and direct observation. The research results show that information systems and tracking technologies are present at all parts of the direct and reverse supply chain, but the systems interconnection is not effective. Tracking technologies such as RFID are present in manufacturing and in just one recycler. The bar code is used in the direct logistics between the manufacturer, the distributor and the retailer. The integrated chip is used to control cartridge, toner and ink supplies by the manufacturer in order to avoid the parallel recharge market. The fact that the sectoral agreement for electronic products and its components has not yet been signed in Brazil, is causing the delay in decisions and investments in information systems and tracking technologies by companies.
