In front of a great potential global social benefit becomes important to have efficient management involving
production, consumption and waste. Such management involves the joint management of natural capital,
consumerism and externalities management [22].
Specifically in the case of WEEE, given the potential transactions and environmental problems of poor
waste management, opens space for a collaborative agreement in society through social, economic and
environmental improvement [23]. Usually solid waste has been managed through inventories and
documentation enabling the identification of the generator, the carrier and the receiver for this residue.
Barlaz and Loughlin [24] state that, around the world, a wide range of policies, standards and government
programs are being implemented for WEEE management, by entering more and more strategies to create
opportunities to reach the environmental targets and lower costs and maximum benefits to society. This is the
case of the National Policy on Solid Waste in Brazil.
In considering the RL, Leite [25] point out that the efficient management needs to provide specificities
creating opportunities for tracking at all stages, involving the collection, transportation and disposal of WEEE.
One of the possibilities for improving solid waste management is waste monitoring in real time through RFID
technology. This technology supports the operational management, answering routine questions and monitoring
transaction flows in an organization [26].
The RFID technology works with the identification through a wireless system making use of
electromagnetic radio frequency fields to transmit information between a tag and a reader [27].
