The methodology focuses on conducting in-depth interviews with representatives of these products’ chains, and the results show that technological advances now allow for the generation of re-refined oil with better economic and environmental features than crude oil, and there have been noticeable advances as to packaging too. However, issues such as conflicts in the reverse chain as to the distribution costs of collection, lack of regional solutions to recycling activities, poor supervision, lack of tax incentives and manufacturers’ low interest in modify their products and processes emphasis on prevention challenge the expansion of large-scale reverse logistics activity in the country. |
