Disposal of Medical Equipment with Environmental Certification - Ecobraz

Importance of Proper Disposal of Medical Equipment

The correct disposal of medical equipment is essential for environmental safety and public health. Electronic devices and medical components contain materials that, if disposed of incorrectly, can cause contamination and biological risks.

Legislation Applicable to the Disposal of Medical Equipment

According to Law No. 12.305/2010, which establishes the National Solid Waste Policy, the responsible management of special waste, including medical equipment, is mandatory. Storage, transport and final destination must meet strict criteria to minimize environmental impacts.

Ecobraz Environmental Certification for Medical Equipment

Ecobraz environmental certification (see https://ecobraz.org/pt_BR) stands out for ensuring that the disposal of medical equipment follows recognized technical and environmental standards. The process is designed to ensure that components are not disposed of in conventional landfills and that hazardous materials are treated safely.

Certified Disposal Process with Ecobraz

The certified procedure includes stages from specialized collection to treatment and recycling. The collection of electronic waste with a focus on medical equipment can be scheduled directly in the Ecobraz system at electronics scheduling. For the safe disposal of hard disks or media containing sensitive data, a strict sanitization protocol is used, which can be scheduled via electronics scheduling.

Benefits of Environmentally Certified Disposal

In addition to legal compliance, environmentally certified disposal reduces soil and groundwater contamination, promotes the reuse of materials and avoids the risk of exposure to chemical and biological agents. The transparency and traceability of the process certifies the technical and environmental responsibility of waste management.

Final considerations

Decision-makers in the areas of ESG, Health and the Environment should prioritize suppliers and partners that have rigorous environmental certifications and certified disposal processes such as Ecobraz, in line with current Brazilian and international regulations.
