Estudo da adoção da logística reversa como alternativa para redução de impactos ambientais gerados pela produção de polpa de açaí

Abstract

The correct disposal of waste is increasingly gaining prominence in the world for the benefit of reducing environmental impacts. The objective of this work is to present the importance of the residues of the açaí wine processing in Capanema-Pa, through the identification of sustainable practices, describing the production process of the açaí wine and the search for alternatives for the use of generated residues in the context of reverse logistics. Reverse logistics comes with the aim of transforming the drivers of environmental impacts into economic income opportunities, in addition to contributing to sustainability. For this purpose, bibliographical research was done with authors of specific areas such as: solid waste, sustainability, reverse logistics, environmental impacts, cleaner production and with field research in açaí and client pickers, after being chosen to the company with the highest production index to represent the other açaí wine beaters. The açaí residues can be used in several ways, motivating the use of this research. It is understood that besides producing the açaí wine for the consumption of the local population, the development of new productive links from the residues of this production may occur and with this, to develop other possibilities of use of the fruit.
