Sumario:The study aims to analyze reverse logistics is applied by three companies from different sectors, taking into account the main difficulties and the destination given to recycled materials. For that, a qualitative exploratory research was adopted and a script composed of open questions was applied, characterizing a case study. Through the research, it was possible to identify that the difficulties that organizations face are especially due to the lack of municipal incentives, awareness and sensitization of the community in general. Among the main findings, it was verified the importance of recycling through reverse logistics, since their materials are used for the production of a wide range of items such as ecological tiles, corrugated conduits, ropes, steel rods, plastic wood, packaging for lubricating oil, corrugated ducts, gloves for splicing, in addition to replacing products such as crushed stone in civil construction.
