From Decommissioning to Renewal: How Ecobraz Transforms Office, Data Center and Industry Disposal into Sustainability

1. When the End is Also a Beginning

Imagine a multinational shutting down its São Paulo branch. Rooms full of workstations, servers still running, kilometers of cabling under raised floors and large cooling systems. The dilemma: how to dismantle everything without spending millions or risking environmental penalties?
This is the challenge faced by companies every year. Closing operations generates not just a financial transition but also an environmental and logistical burden.

2. The Hidden Costs of Ignoring the Problem

Many managers think selling equipment or hiring movers solves it. Reality says otherwise:

• Disguised costs: transport, storage and legal disposal are expensive.

• Reputation risks: e-waste discarded illegally can damage a brand.

• Heavy fines: Brazilian law enforces proper e-waste disposal.

• Sensitive data risks: in data centers, servers and storages often hold confidential data that must be securely destroyed.

3. How Ecobraz Reverses the Logic of Disposal

Ecobraz, the world’s largest NGO in e-waste recycling, provides a unique model: the service is free of charge.
Ecobraz manages dismantling, transport and disposal — in return, it keeps the materials, recycles them and funds operations through recycling revenue.

4. Real Stories of Impact

• Case 1: Financial Office Transition
  A major bank closed an entire office floor with 300 workstations. In 72 hours Ecobraz dismantled everything, removed servers and recycled 12 tons of equipment — at zero cost.

• Case 2: Data Center Shutdown
  A telecom company decommissioned its old data center. Ecobraz removed racks, structured cabling, storages and cooling systems, while also destroying hard drives with certified methods.
