Cooperation agreements for innovation: robotics, AI and traceability with Ecobraz

The innovation partnership between Ecobraz and government entities reinforces the development of robotics, artificial intelligence and traceability applied to the management and recycling of electronic waste. The agreements include technological solutions in line with current legislation, such as the National Solid Waste Policy (Law No. 12.305/2010) and the guidelines of the National Solid Waste Management Information System (SINIR), promoting efficiency, transparency and safety in the management of critical materials.

Legal Context and Regulatory Framework

Law No. 12.305/2010 establishes the National Solid Waste Policy, regulating shared responsibility for the life cycle of products and the implementation of reverse logistics systems, including electrical and electronic waste. In addition, CONAMA Resolution No. 401/2008 reinforces the guidelines for the environmentally appropriate management of this waste.

The National Solid Waste Management Information System (SINIR), in accordance with Decree No. 10.936/2022 and related regulations, provides data and metrics that aid in the traceability and compliance of recycling processes.

Innovation in Robotics for Electronic Waste Management

The application of automated robotics allows for the efficient, safe and accurate segregation of electronic waste components. The use of robotic systems reduces the risk of exposure to toxic substances and increases the productivity of processes, as recommended by the occupational safety standards of the Ministry of Labor.

Artificial Intelligence and Operational Monitoring

Artificial intelligence solutions applied to the recognition and classification of parts improve the sorting and correct disposal of materials, ensuring compliance with the environmental standards of the CETESB and optimizing collection and treatment.

Additionally, AI systems help with demand forecasting and reverse logistics, qualifying sustainable strategies in line with the National Solid Waste Policy (Law No. 12.305/2010).

Traceability and Transparency in the Management Chain

Traceability ensured by digital technologies and blockchain makes it possible to monitor the flow of waste from collection to final disposal, as required by SINIR (sinir.gov.br). Transparency and auditability improve public accountability and strengthen the value chain in responsible management.

Safe and Sustainable Management of Electronic Waste

The integration of robotics and AI supports processes for the safe disposal of electronic equipment, including the electronic waste collection in compliance with legislation, reducing environmental impacts and health risks.

The specialized treatment for storage devices, such as hard drives and media, with a focus on safe sanitization and safe disposal, ensures the protection of sensitive data and complies with information security regulations aligned with good practices suggested by NIST (nvlpubs.nist.gov).

Conclusion

The cooperation agreements involving Ecobraz highlight the joint commitment to expanding the application of innovative technologies, promoting sustainability and regulatory compliance in the management of electronic waste. Robotics, artificial intelligence and traceability are essential pillars for advancing the circular economy in the sector.
