Residual vegetable oil represents a serious environmental risk when discarded in drains, sinks, soil or water bodies. However, it has great potential as a raw material in the manufacture of other products, such as: soap, biodiesel, cosmetics, cleaning products, paints, animal feed and others. In this way, it is very important to apply reverse logistics, that is, used frying oil collection processes, allocating it to new production cycles. Therefore, the article in question intended to carry out an analysis of the procedures necessary for the application of reverse logistics of this waste in the city of Teresina (PI). For this, semi-structured interviews with were made if companies specialized in carrying out the collection and proper disposal of oil were applied. So, it was possible to verify how the chain is coordinated and structured, advantages in environmental, social and economic aspects, particularities of this system, such as the underutilization of storage capacity in these companies, as well as difficulties such as the lack of environmental education by society and government support.
