Sustainable value chain: end-to-end reverse logistics with Ecobraz

This article discusses the implementation of end-to-end reverse logistics as part of the sustainable value chain, highlighting Ecobraz's performance in the efficient management of electrical and electronic waste, in accordance with current legislation, guaranteeing corporate sustainability in B2B environments.

Introduction to the Sustainable Value Chain

Reverse logistics is an essential component of the sustainable value chain, enabling the safe and efficient return of products and materials for reuse, recycling or environmentally responsible disposal. This practice contributes significantly to reducing environmental impact and complying with current regulations in the electronics sector.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

Law No. 12.305/2010 instituted the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS), establishing guidelines for reverse logistics in Brazil. According to Law No. 12.305/2010, the management of electrical and electronic waste must be carried out in such a way as to ensure the return and proper treatment of materials, promoting shared responsibility between manufacturers, importers, distributors, traders and consumers.

In addition, the National Solid Waste Management Information System (SINIR) offers support and technical guidelines for the operationalization of reverse logistics, aligning practices with environmental compliance and reducing legal risks for organizations.

Structuring End-to-End Reverse Logistics

The end-to-end methodology in reverse logistics involves the comprehensive monitoring of electrical and electronic waste from its origin to its environmentally correct final destination. Ecobraz acts in this process through the planning, collection, transportation and safe treatment of materials, enabling the recovery of resources and reducing the generation of solid waste.

For precise and scheduled collection, especially of electronic equipment, it is recommended to schedule directly on the Ecobraz portal to electronic waste collection, guaranteeing operation in accordance with technical and socio-environmental standards.

Safe Disposal and Sanitization of Storage Devices

Responsible management includes the safe handling of media containing sensitive information, such as hard drives. Ecobraz offers specialized services of safe disposal and sanitization of hard drives, essential for compliance with data protection regulations and the prevention of information leaks.

Benefits for B2B decision-makers

The adoption of end-to-end reverse logistics as practiced by Ecobraz adds value in the production chain by ensuring legal compliance, reducing environmental impact and strengthening the corporate image in sustainability. Decision-makers in the ESG, EHS, Legal, IT and Purchasing areas find reverse logistics to be a robust solution for mitigating risks and promoting responsible environmental practices.

Final Considerations

Implementing the sustainable value chain with end-to-end reverse logistics, supported by legislation and executed with expertise by Ecobraz, represents strategic progress for organizations seeking environmental and legal excellence. The promotion of circularity in the management of electrical and electronic waste is imperative for sustainable development in the business sector.
