Logística reversa: descarte de lâmpadas fluorescentes na Universidade Federal da Fronteira Sul campus Cerro Largo/RS

Abstract

The paper addresses reverse logistics: disposal of fluorescente lamps in a higher education institution. In this context, it is verified that the research problem is as follows: how does the reverse logistics of fluorescent lamps materialize at the Federal University of Fronteira Sul Campus Cerro Largo/RS (UFFS/CL) and its reverse logistics? To solve the problem, the following objective was elaborated, which is to analyze the reverse logistics of fluorescent lamps at UFFS/CL. In order to reach it, we opted for a mixed research, which will be divided into two steps. Initially interviews were conducted to understand the flow of fluorescent lamps disposal and factors that hinder this flow in the institution, in the second step, questionnaires were applied in order to check the percentage of those who are aware of how the discharge flow of fluorescent lamps should happen at UFFS/CL. As results, was found that there is a reverse logistics flow for the fluorescent lamps disposal at the University and that the servers/employees are unaware how this flow happens in the institution, but that the minority know where to send when the lamp burns out. Finally, it should be noted that this research could serve as a basis for future studies and extension projects for training employees/ staff about this subject
