“…Data analysis reveals that this role is predominantly assumed by the recycler and logistic operator, but also by a certain sector within the City Hall sectors (responsible for environmental matters). These findings align with the conclusion of Giglio et al [27], which highlights the prevalence of formal governance, with a central logistics management actor seeking to resolve and facilitate action within this formal governance framework.…”

“…Rodrigues et al [20] emphasize that the Brazilian e-waste management model is complex, not only in terms of the shared responsibility principle but also due to the dependence on consumer behavior. Therefore, there are indications that the most effective scenario arises when the public cleaning service provider and the business sector collaborate, establishing a mutually beneficial relationship [27].…”

This study investigates the post-regulation scenario of waste electrical and electronic equipment (e-waste) reverse logistics in Florianópolis, an island in southern Brazil, following Decree N° 10240/2020. Employing a case study approach, involving observation and semi-structured interviews, the research explores key stakeholders’ roles. The results indicate collaborative efforts among the municipal cleaning service provider, recycler, and manager entity, supporting effective e-waste take-back systems. This cooperation not only strengthens the formal recycling market but also yields socio-environmental benefits. The study reveals that optimal outcomes arise from the collaboration between the public cleaning service provider and the business sector, fostering a mutually beneficial relationship. Concerning e-waste value recovery, there is a notable inclination to extend the life cycle of small equipment, emphasizing reuse and remanufacture cycles, while larger electrical and electronic items follow to recycling and recovery cycles. In summary, this research contributes to aligning stakeholders in e-waste reverse logistics, emphasizing compliance with legislation and fostering a deeper understanding of roles, functions, and alliances. The study provides a strategic and structured perspective on e-waste management in a city renowned for selective waste collection and considered a national benchmark for reverse logistics, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability.

Cities face challenges due to climate change, including extreme weather events and increasing GHG emissions. In this context, recycling emerges as an essential tool to promote urban resilience, reduce carbon emissions, and promote a circular economy. Thus, the objective was to examine the role of recycling as an integral part of urban adaptation and greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation strategies. The methodology included consultations with articles and legislation on the subject, as well as exploring examples of good practices from industries and effective policies that highlight the benefits of integrating recycling into adaptation and mitigation initiatives in cities. The results demonstrate the importance of effective recycling policies and practices to build climate-resilient cities and promote a transition to a low-carbon economy.
