Resumo

© 2016 by authors.The logistics function is to create and maintain internal and external storage and distribution processes of raw materials and products. Within logistics, we highlight the reverse logistics area, which deals with all operations aimed at recovering and reusing products and materials that have already ended their useful life in the market, thus ensuring their reintegration into the production process, reducing costs and waste. This article aims to make a brief analysis of the current scenario of collection of used and contaminated lubricating oils (UCLO), focusing on the relationship between the low number of collecting stations and the current Brazilian legislation regarding the characterization and requirements to become a collector of UCLO. It is concluded that current Brazilian legislation encourages companies producing and importing finished oils to maintain the current level of collection of used and contaminated oils for convenience.
