Atuação da Comissão de Coleta Seletiva Solidária (CCSS) da UFJF-GV na tentativa de institucionalização da logística reversa

Abstract

Reverse logistics - or the process of reusing waste that is difficult to recycle - is one of the mechanisms for economic and social development combined with the preservation of the environment proposed by the National Solid Waste Policy and which must be implemented by Federal Public Administration bodies and entities direct and indirect, according to Federal Decree 5940/2006. The main objective of the work is to address the implementation of the Solidarity Selective Collection Commission on the campus of the Federal University of Juiz de Fora in Governador Valadares, to present and analyze the procedures used by the commission to, in addition to complying with legislation, institutionalize sustainable consumption habits, separation and disposal of solid waste. The proposal was developed from the methodology of participatory action research and made possible by the studies and practices promoted in university extension. In a brief assessment of the procedures adopted by the CCSS, it appears that educational actions to strengthen awareness and encourage change in attitudes demand persistence, reflexivity and cooperation, after all, they do not take place in the short term and that is why it is necessary whenever they disseminate and seek partnerships for continuity.
