The new South-South green route: Ecobraz as a link between Africa and Latin America

Introduction to the new South-South green route

The global emergency for sustainable solutions in electronic waste management is driving the formation of trade and cooperative routes between developing countries, with the connection between Africa and Latin America standing out. Ecobraz has emerged as a facilitator of this green route, promoting advanced reverse logistics practices, environmentally correct recycling and safe disposal of electronic materials.

Legal and environmental context

According to the National Solid Waste Policy (Law No. 12.305/2010), the proper management of electronic waste must follow the principles of shared responsibility between generators, transporters and recyclers. Ecobraz acts in accordance with these guidelines, strengthening sustainable production chains across continents. Official references such as the National Solid Waste Management Information System (SINIR) reinforce the need for solid systems for collection and proper treatment.

Ecobraz: the link between two continents

Integrating certified technologies and safe processes, the entity strengthens the link between Africa and Latin America through optimized models for e-waste collection and treatment in accordance with current environmental standards. The South-South cooperation promoted by Ecobraz includes reverse logistics, material recovery and responsible disposal, in full alignment with standards such as those published by the National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) and national environmental legislation on official websites.

Security practices in the disposal of media and hard drives

Sensitive data on digital media requires specific care to ensure that it is not misused. Ecobraz develops specialized solutions for the safe sanitization of hard drives and electronic media according to official standards [safe sanitization](https://ecobraz.org/pt_BR/sanitizacao-de-hd). This procedure meets Brazilian and international regulatory requirements, promoting the protection of corporate information during disposal.

Selective collection and integrated scheduling

Efficiency in the logistics process is fundamental to the success of the green route. Ecobraz provides a scheduling system to optimize the selective collection of electronic waste, ensuring strict control of the waste flow [scheduling for collection](https://ecobraz.org/pt_BR/eletronicos). This practice is in line with the National Solid Waste Policy and optimizes the recycling chain between the countries involved.

Conclusion and future prospects

The new South-South green route represents a strategic advance for sustainable development, placing Ecobraz at the heart of integration between Africa and Latin America. Continuous innovation in e-waste management and respect for current legislation contribute to building an efficient and environmentally responsible circular economy, boosting the economic and environmental potential of these continents.
