Abstract

ABSTRACT Pesticide residues has become a serious environmental concern due to the intensification of agricultural production, its universal use and the risk of contamination. It is an issue that is inserted in the dichotomy between the search for increased food production, waste generation and environmental preservation. There are two main objectives for this work. First, the descriptive analysis of the reverse logistics (RL) of empty pesticide containers (EPCs) as it is practiced under the Campo Limpo system (Brazil) so that the factors enabling its success are identified. Second, the proposal of strategies to improve the collection system. Technical visits and a system dynamics approach were combined, using the Behaviour Over Time graph and a causal loop model to describe the problem and propose strategies. Results indicate three key areas of the Campo Limpo system that can be improved: producer awareness, alternative means of returning containers and data transparency. Small and medium producers are more penalised in the return process due to the lack of information, difficulty in accessing disposal centres and the cost of transportation.

农药空容器逆向物流:解决方案还是问题?
由于农业生产的集约化、农药的普遍使用以及农药的污染风险,农药残留已成为一个严重的环境问题。这是一个在寻求增加粮食生产、产生废物和保护环境之间的二分法中插入的问题。这项工作有两个主要目标。首先,对在Campo Limpo系统(巴西)下实施的空农药容器(epc)逆向物流(RL)进行描述性分析,以便确定使其成功的因素。第二,提出完善催收制度的策略。技术访问和系统动力学方法相结合,使用行为随时间图和因果循环模型来描述问题并提出策略。结果表明Campo Limpo系统可以改进的三个关键领域:生产者意识,返回容器的替代方法和数据透明度。由于缺乏信息、难以进入处理中心和运输费用,中小型生产者在返回过程中受到的惩罚更大。
