The National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS) is a Brazilian landmark in relation to solid waste management. In this context, legislation, not only the Brazilian one, becomes increasingly strict regarding the disposal of products at the end of their life cycles. However, the question remains whether the legal program is really being considered important in companies. Based on this context, the objective of the research is to evaluate the importance of reverse logistics (RL) motivators in companies in the South Fluminense region, in the automotive sector, after the implementation of the PNRS. The study has an applied and exploratory character and data collection was carried out through questionnaires. To analyze the information obtained, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method was used. In this research, the economic program was considered the most important followed by the legal program. Another study carried out in the South Fluminense region by Hernández et al. (2010), also highlighted the economic program. However, in terms of prioritization, the legal program was not considered a RL motivator, and in the current study it is ranked second in terms of importance. As a recommendation for future research, the analysis can be done in other regions and sectors.
