Reverse logistics associated with the objectives of sustainable development and environmental education

Resumen

Reverse logistics presents an interrelationship with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and both must be supported by environmental practices whose guidelines are inserted into Environmental Education (EE). Based on this, the objective of this review was to identify the forms, internationally and nationally, about the practices of this type of logistics, based on the goals numbers 2, 3, and 4, 6 and 12, 14 and 15, and EA. The method employed was a systematic literature review, with quantitative and qualitative coverage, and observational nature. The period for literature selection was between 1997 and 2022. The data obtained and analyzed indicated that, internationally, the logistics under study present two obstacles: the stakeholders and the different views about what eco-friendly packaging is. In the national territory, the structure for reverse logistics has not yet been implemented by the triad government, companies and consumers because the first component presents legislations only for the second component, however, in the case of LR, there is no specificity for the practice at home, as well as an incipient number of voluntary delivery points and, finally, the economic context, because there are retail outlets, started to profit from packages that could be destined to reverse logistics, but do not do so. Moreover, in the case of Electro-Electronic waste, there is no environmental incentive for computers, notebooks, among others, to be destined to the LR, so the owners, when they realize the obsolescence of these devices, discard them in inappropriate places such as rivers.
