Logística reversa de pneus veiculares inservíveis em uma empresa Roque Gonzales - RS

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the process of reverse logistics of waste tires, in a tire trading company, located in the municipality of Roque Gonzales - RS. For the accomplishment of this research, the qualitative method was used, also using the descriptive method with the case study procedure. Data collection was done through the technique of non-participant observation and a semi-structured interview script. Regarding the results, it was verified that the company provides a complete service regarding the exchange of tires and services that tend to increase the useful life of tires used for running. In the same way that it provides this service, it also uses a reverse logistics plan for correct disposal of vehicular tires that are considered to be unusable, thus, the company plays an important role in society because it thinks about the environment and its preservation. Finally, an alternative disposal plan for these vehicular tires was created, which can be used by the local population of the municipality of Roque Gonzales - RS, for the construction of beds, retaining walls and others, provided they do not harm the environment. It is concluded that a company that works with a potential polluter, needs to have a reverse logistics plan to give a correct destination to these solids or to make a connection with the local population to give a new destiny to this solid in a correct way, that this solid does not harm the environment and is useful to those who will use it.
