to assess the current situation of the Municipality of Irati regarding the disposal of
fluorescent lamps and to propose a reverse logistics system for post-consumption
lamps with a focus on collecting lamps generated in homes after the end of their life
cycle.
Through the information gathered regarding the number of light bulbs, it appears
that there is a considerable estimate of post-consumer lamps discarded monthly. The
biggest concern is that these lamps have an environmentally correct destination in
order to avoid negative environmental impacts. Thus, lamp collection programs are
important for the Municipality, as well as the incentive for environmentally correct
disposal.
With the existing collect points and the new ones added, each region of the municipality would have at least one collect point. The need for structuring with containers
at each collection point is important, since large quantities of lamps would be stored
and would avoid possible fragmentation.
Through the cost estimate, a large investment is perceived for the acquisition of
containers for the collect points, as well as the costs of recycling the lamps, however if
partnerships are established, it is possible to implement the reverse logistics system.
An alternative would be that the residents themselves could help with recycling costs
when delivering the lamps, until the recycling equipment is purchased, as mentioned
by Lozinski (2017).
To encourage disposal, it would be interesting to create a reward system. This
practice is already carried out in the capital of Paraná, according to the Curitiba
City Hall. In 2015, the citizens who contributed most to the disposal of recyclable
materials were rewarded with symbolic prizes, such as tickets for artistic activities
in the municipality. Another interesting proposal would be to create a website that
presents the closest collect point based on the location of each resident, as de Oliveira
and Paschoalin (2014) proposed for the city of São Paulo. This could encourage the
resident to take the post-consumer lamp for proper disposal, since it would show the
existence of a collect point 500 m from each resident.
