Nowadays, agribusiness is a constantly growing sector that generates highly hazardous
waste (pesticide packaging), both for public health and for the environment. In this
context, this study presents an analysis of the reverse logistics strategies adopted in small
farms in the forest region, located in the city of Darcinópolis, state of Tocantins. The
purpose of this study is to verify if the form of disposal of the packaging adopted by the
producers, are in accordance with the legislation in force. The data description of this
research was made from the information collected through a field research questionnaire,
composed of 12 questions, and for data analysis was used the qualitative descriptive
methodology. From the results obtained through the research, it was evident that the lack
of information is the biggest bottleneck in the region, making the laws not actually
enforced, thus generating a risk of human and environmental contamination. On the other
hand, although they are not fully aware of reverse logistics, they recognize its importance
for reducing environmental impacts through the reuse or reuse of these wastes, promoting
sustainable development.
