Responsabilidades em cadeias de suprimentos reversas de resíduos de equipamentos eletroeletrônicos: Uma revisão da literature

Autoria SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

RESUMO

A urgência para a readequação dos modelos de produção e consumo é destacada pela crescente demanda por recursos naturais e a intensa degradação ambiental. Este quadro é agravado pela rápida evolução tecnológica, resultando em uma quantidade significativa de Resíduos de Equipamentos Eletroeletrônicos (WEEE) descartados inadequadamente. A implementação de sistemas reversos é identificada como uma alternativa para mitigar os danos ambientais causados pelo descarte inadequado dos WEEE, promovendo a Economia Circular. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo caracterizar o atual contexto da literatura referente às responsabilidades em Cadeias de Suprimentos Reversas de WEEE. Por meio de uma revisão sistemática da literatura, foram selecionadas publicações nas bases Scopus, Science Direct e Web of Science para a investigação sobre o tema. Os resultados identificaram responsabilidades na esfera da “Gestão e Operação”, “Integração”, “Legal”, “Econômica”, “Materiais”, “Tecnológica” e “Capacitação”. Ao concluir esta pesquisa, delineou-se o panorama atual das publicações que abordam as responsabilidades relacionadas à Cadeias de Suprimentos Reversas de WEEE. Este levantamento contribuiu para identificar lacunas e oportunidades destinadas ao avanço de novas pesquisas, além de estimular desenvolvimentos substanciais na literatura sobre o tema.

Research Gaps	Justification
WEEE RSC responsibilities specifically for emerging economies	Understand the socioeconomic dynamics in the context of reverse flows, identify alternatives for reusing waste, and seek strategies for integrating the informal sector into WEEE management in these countries.
Understanding RSC from waste renewable energy equipment	Of the research selected, a very small number dealt with the RSC responsibilities of such waste. Furthermore, scientific production related to this specific topic could boost RSC research to accompany the transition to a renewable energy matrix.
Evaluation of current labeling alternatives for tracking or monitoring products or waste	Improving the technology, management, and operation of monitoring, and traceability of products and waste throughout their life cycles
WEEE laws, regulations, or directives that sustainably regulate waste shipments between countries	Promoting compliance, identifying risks and challenges, and promoting regulations on the subject, especially for emerging countries that receive waste from other countries.
