How Ecobraz turns e-waste into a resource

Introduction to the transformation of electronic waste into a resource

The proper management of electronic waste is fundamental to minimizing environmental impacts and complying with current legislation, such as the National Solid Waste Policy (Law No. 12.305/2010). Ecobraz acts in this scenario by promoting the recovery and reuse of the components present in this type of waste, converting them into valuable resources for industry.

Technical processes used in the recovery of electronic waste

Recovery begins with specialized selective collection, provided by Ecobraz, which can be scheduled directly through the website electronics scheduling. The collection ensures proper segregation, avoiding cross-contamination.

The equipment is subjected to mechanical dismantling and component separation procedures, using advanced technologies to extract ferrous and non-ferrous metals - such as copper, aluminum and precious metals - as well as reusing plastics and glass, in accordance with technical environmental standards established by CETESB and regulatory bodies.

Sanitization and safe disposal of storage devices

To guarantee data protection and legal compliance, Ecobraz applies digital sanitization processes to storage devices such as hard drives. The procedure ensures the irreversible destruction of the information contained on these media, facilitating safe disposal. This service can be scheduled at electronics scheduling.

Legal compliance and applicable standards

The operation strictly follows the guidelines of the National Solid Waste Policy and the National Solid Waste Management Information System (SINIR), as set out in Ordinances sinir.gov.br and on the mtr.sinir.gov.br portal. In addition, processes are aligned with the recommendations of the Chamber of Deputies (camara.leg.br) and state environmental regulations, such as those of CETESB (cetesb.sp.gov.br), guaranteeing compliance and environmental responsibility.

Sustainable impact and economic benefits

The transformation of e-waste into a resource enables the reduction of metal mining, reduces the demand for new raw materials and reduces environmental impacts, as provided for in federal legislation. In addition, it contributes to the circular economy and corporate social responsibility, aspects prioritized by decision-makers in the areas of ESG, EHS, IT and procurement.
