Prolata, a non-profit association created by the value chain of steel can manufacturers in Brazil, helps builders across the country in the reverse logistics of post-consumer steel cans, such as paint, spackle, etc. Construction companies such as Lindenberg, Trisul, MRV and Gafisa are among those that resort to the program to properly dispose of the steel cans generated in their works.<\/p>\n
An instrument provided for in the National Solid Waste Policy Law (PNRS), reverse logistics enables the procedure for collecting and returning certain solid waste from the business sector. According to Thais Fagury, president of Abea\u00e7o and coordinator of Prolata, the person responsible for allocating the cans to the program is the work itself. \u201cThe packaging and waste originating from works are generated by a legal entity and the responsibility is exclusive to the work. The program offers a facility for disposal.\u201d<\/p>\n
She explains that the construction company identifies the work and gets in touch with Prolata, which indicates which is the closest point of the program for disposal. The work then delivers the residue-free steel packaging \u2013 in the case of paint, the cans are delivered with just the dry paint film. On average, each job generates 300 kg to 400 kg of post-consumer steel cans. \u201cAfter the delivery of the cans, Prolata issues a certificate of environmentally appropriate disposal, guaranteeing the traceability of the material and the revaluation by the steel industry\u201d, completes Thais.<\/p>\n
Prolata was the first management entity for reverse packaging logistics recognized by the Ministry of the Environment. In addition to having more than 30 Voluntary Delivery Points (PEVs) across the country, Prolata now mobilizes more than 50 recycling cooperatives. Since the founding of the association, more than 28,000 tons of steel have been collected and recycled.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur goal is to create conditions for the steel can recycling chain to be completed, involving can manufacturers, product manufacturers, cooperatives, end consumers (including construction companies) and the steel industry\u201d, explains Thais.
