A reciclagem das embalagens plásticas de óleo lubrificante e a gestão ambiental: um modelo a ser construído

Abstract

The final destination, after use, of plastic packaging with motor oil residues is one problem worldwide. The polymer resistance to biodegradability and the residual oil contamination represents a great environmental risk. The final destination of plastic packaging is an ethical and legal claim in the comp anies. This work presents a review of a waste management program implemented in the State o f Rio de Janeiro, evaluating its results and proposing improvements. This study was especially concerned about the importance of an environmental management system to integrate all stakeholders. In order to support the proposed model, best practices implemented by organizations that deal with plastic packing recycling were focused. This study presents a model that will contribute to solve practical problems regarding final destination of plastic packaging after use through recycling and or reuse, preserving soil and groundwater for future g enerations. The interviews have shown that 8,2% of plastic packaging have adequated environmental destination. The practical approach and the detailed description of the real problem structure are the main contributions of this study to the knowledge area and research of final destination, after use, of plastic packaging of lubricating oil.
