Why Multinationals Should Invest in Reverse Logistics in Brazil

Introduction: Brazil as a strategic market

With more than 200 million inhabitants and a diversified economy, Brazil is a strategic market for multinationals across all industries. However, the high consumption of electronics and appliances generates millions of tons of waste every year, demanding environmental responsibility and structured disposal solutions.

In this context, reverse logistics becomes a central element for companies seeking to maintain credibility, competitiveness, and compliance in the country.

Legal requirements in Brazil

Brazil has one of the most advanced environmental legislations in Latin America:

• PNRS (National Solid Waste Policy) → establishes shared responsibility throughout the product life cycle.

• Mandatory reverse logistics targets → especially for sectors such as electronics, batteries, and appliances.

• Increasing oversight → companies failing to comply face fines, sanctions, and reputational damage.

For multinationals, adapting to Brazil’s regulatory landscape is essential to avoid legal and financial risks.

Benefits for multinationals investing in reverse logistics

Beyond compliance, there are clear strategic advantages:

• Enhanced corporate reputation → consumers and investors value environmental practices.

• Integration with ESG → global reports can highlight sustainable practices in Brazil.

• Access to contracts and tenders → many require proof of proper waste management.

• Operational efficiency → recovery of raw materials reduces production chain costs.

• Leadership positioning → early adopters stand out as innovative and responsible companies.
