Abstract(s)
A logística inversa dos resíduos surge como uma importante atividade na minimização do impacto causado no meio ambiente.
A produção de resíduos é uma das maiores preocupações existentes na atualidade. Sendo os hospitais uma grande fonte de produção de resíduos, é importante o seu tratamento que difere consoante os graus de perigosidade.
O presente estudo tem como objetivo estudar as práticas de logística inversa dos resíduos, levadas a cabo pelos hospitais do distrito de Setúbal, em Portugal.
Para a concretização deste objetivo utilizou-se o método quantitativo de recolha de dados, nomeadamente, um inquérito por questionário, enviado por correio eletrónico.
O estudo engloba, para além de questões gerais sobre logística inversa, as etapas da gestão de resíduos, nomeadamente, a triagem e acondicionamento, a recolha e o transporte interno e o armazenamento interno.
Conclui-se que a maioria das práticas decorre do imperativo legal, existindo ainda muito a fazer na área da logística inversa hospitalar. Os resultados obtidos permitem concluir que, de uma forma geral, é feito muito pouco para além do que é obrigatório por lei.
The reverse logistics of waste emerged as an important activity in minimizing the impact on the environment. The production of waste is one of the biggest concerns that exist today. Having in consideration that hospitals have a great responsibility in terms of waste production, it is important to grant that the waste is treated considering it’s classification due to the hazardousness level. The objective of this study is to investigate the several reverse logistics waste practices, carried out by hospitals, in Setúbal district, in Portugal. In order to fulfill the objective of the present study, it was used a quantitative data collection method, namely, questionnaires sent by electronic mail.
