The Importance of Environmental Certification for Companies Recycling Electronics

Introduction: The search for environmental credibility

In today’s world, companies must prove that their environmental practices are genuine and not just marketing rhetoric. In this context, environmental certification emerges as the main tool to demonstrate compliance, efficiency, and commitment to sustainability.

In electronics recycling, where concerns about toxic waste and heavy metals are significant, certification is even more critical.

What is environmental certification?

Environmental certification is an official recognition that processes and practices comply with standards set by regulatory bodies or independent entities.

Key types of certification include:

• ISO 14001 → environmental management systems.

• Reverse logistics certifications → compliance with Brazil’s National Solid Waste Policy.

• Technical reports and waste manifests → documents that prove proper disposal.
