    Logística Reversa dos Resíduos Sólidos Hospitalares
    (Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014) ROCHA, José Mauro Pinto da; FENZEL, Norbert
    The wastes from healthcare services are becoming a difficult problem to solve. This situation highlights the need for alternatives for the management of this issue, aiming to protect society, the use of reverse logistics becomes an option. In the Amazon, this problem is a fact and the need to solve it is urgent. The demands for health services arising from population growth have also generated an increase in the discharge of health service waste. This situation is exacerbated by the absence of projects that facilitate the reuse of the same as well as effective planning in management. The proposal analyzed in this paper addresses the physical, chemical, and microbiological characterization of medical waste generated in various areas of a health care facility and the use of reverse logistics for its disposal. Note the concern with the reduction, generation, and segregation correctly, as well as packaging, identification, and collection, showing that the unit searched generates around 15,907 kg/day of waste class D that can be reused through reverse logistics.
