How to prepare your company for disposal requirements at COP30

Understanding the Disposal Requirements at COP30

Preparing for the disposal requirements established at COP30 requires attention to the legal frameworks in force in Brazil relating to proper waste management, in accordance with environmental and national guidelines. Organizations must align their internal procedures to ensure compliance with standards that promote sustainability and mitigate environmental impacts.

Applicable Legislation and Regulations

The main Brazilian regulatory framework guiding waste management is the National Solid Waste Policy (Law No. 12.305/2010). This law establishes a hierarchy in waste management, prioritizing reduction, reuse, recycling and appropriate treatment for environmentally correct final disposal.

In addition, the National Solid Waste Management Information System (SINIR) offers guidelines and reliable data for good waste management, supporting alignment with the environmental commitments made at COP30.

Practices for Compliance with COP30

To meet the disposal requirements demanded by the conference, it is essential to implement processes that include:

• Waste Inventory: Map the types and volumes generated, prioritizing data for action planning.
• Hazardous Waste Management: Observe the standards established by CETESB and other regulatory bodies for safe and licensed disposal.
• Collection and Disposal of Obsolete Technology: Implement the process of collection of electronic waste to ensure responsible disposal and compliance with environmental obligations.
• Security in Data Sanitization: Manage the safe disposal of equipment with digital storage, using validated processes of hard drive sanitization to prevent the leakage of sensitive information.

Training and Continuous Monitoring

Technicians and managers should be trained periodically to update on best practices and regulatory changes. Continuous monitoring is necessary to adjust processes and ensure compliance with environmental regulations and COP30 commitments is maintained.

Final Thoughts

Preparing for COP30 disposal requirements involves efficient integration between internal policies, legislative updates and the use of specialized services for waste management and information security. This approach guarantees not only legal compliance, but also strengthens institutional social and environmental responsibility.
