Reciclagens de baterias chumbo- ácido: em análise a sustentabilidade

Abstract

All recycling is extremely important, and battery recovery is one of them. This makes the sale of materials such as lead, an insufficient raw material in Brazil, and although it causes a high level of pollution, with the reuse of waste, this rate is minimized. With this, the magnitude of this article was justified because, in addition to the company having to worry about the return of the product (automotive batteries) in disuse, it is necessary that this return is actually satisfactory for the production of new products and , also being able to identify whether there are more alternatives if reversibility is not sufficient. The main objective of the work is to analyze sustainable practices aimed at recycling lead-acid automotive batteries at Microempresa Auto Elétrica Popular, located in Bodoquena/MS, investigating the mechanisms adopted for the appropriate disposal and environmentally responsible management of this waste. As a research method, bibliographic and exploratory research was used. A semi-structured interview guide was used that addressed the variables that made it possible to obtain a response to the investigation. Through this, some reservations were made, highlighting the concepts about sustainable practices by companies that manufacture lead-acid batteries, the recycling of lead-acid batteries, in relation to sustainability in the municipality of Bodoquena/MS. Based on the search achieved, it is concluded that the main factor in the implementation of reverse logistics in the battery company is still the failure to plan the return of products for reuse and, without a doubt, a simple suggestion would be scheduled preventive, enabling sustainability through automotive batteries.
