Résumé documentaire — langue originale

ABSTRACT The management of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), or e-waste, has gained global relevance, especially with the growing volume of waste generated and the need for sustainable practices. This study proposes and applies a methodology to analyze the disparity between Brazilian legislation and the literature regarding the assignment of responsibilities to stakeholders in the Reverse Supply Chain (RSC). The research, which includes a systematic literature review and content analysis of Brazilian Legal Instruments (BLIs) regarding stakeholders’ responsibilities concerning e-waste in the RSC, reveals gaps between theoretical responsibilities and legal approaches. The comparison between the literature and the BLIs highlights the lack of regulations on practices such as prepayment of waste management fees and the roles of consumers, retailers, and governments in the recycling chain. The study proposes a framework for assigning and sharing responsibilities in the RSC that can serve as a basis for more effective public policies and business strategies, aiming for a more robust circular economy. The conclusions reinforce the importance of greater integration between public policies and RSC practices in Brazil, as well as suggesting updates to the BLIs to promote greater collaboration among the different stakeholders, guaranteeing the effectiveness of reverse logistics systems and sustainability in WEEE management.
