The reverse logistics system as a form of development of Brazilian companies: The way of natural capital

Abstract

The Brazilian environmental legislative framework has been included in the Reverse Logistics System, among the reinforcements approved by Law No. 12,305 / 2010 (National Solid Waste Policy), which aims to hold all stakeholders in the product life cycle, by its final destination. Among those responsible, the Brazilian business community is included, such as manufacturers, distributors and traders, who, through legislative innovation, have another legal burden on corporate performance. The present work, through a bibliographical research, aimed to conceptualize the reverse logistics system, still little debated in Brazil, in order to verify its applicability in Brazilian organizations, not as a burden to the central profit objective, but as a plausible means of and to direct them to sustainability, according to the concept of natural capital, under the bias advocated by Tercek and Adamns, with the possibility of being an alternative capable of developing profitable and at the same time sustainable companies.
