Abstract

The postmodern society consumes in search of welfare. Therefore, an enormous amount of natural resources is consumed and consequently a large quantity of materials is discarded as waste. In this context, in order to try to minimize the environmental impacts, the Law 12.305/10 was approved, which established the National Policy for Solid Waste (PNRS). This policy comprises the objective of promoting the environmentally appropriated disposal of solid waste, assigning great importance to the recycling process and the shared responsibility for product lifecycle, which encouraged the creation and maintenance of recycling cooperatives of materials and Reverse Logistic (RL) practices. The RL has been highlighted since it seeks for holistic solutions for environmental problems. Hence, this study aimed to evaluate the evolution of Brazilian RL studies through a Bibliometric Analysis which comprehended articles published between 2010 and 2014. The growth in the number of publications that discuss the referred topics was substantiated.
