Ecobraz: The NGO that Turned Electronic Waste into a Global Movement

Introduction to Ecobraz and its work

Ecobraz is a non-governmental organization dedicated to the management and recovery of electronic waste. Founded with the purpose of promoting sustainability and respect for Brazilian environmental standards, the NGO has developed innovative methodologies for the safe management of this waste, providing a positive impact on the environment and society.

Legal and regulatory context in Brazil

The proper management of electrical and electronic waste in Brazil is regulated by the National Solid Waste Policy (Law No. 12.305/2010), which establishes shared responsibilities for the life cycle of products, including reverse logistics and environmentally appropriate disposal. Ecobraz acts in line with these guidelines, contributing to compliance with legal obligations through certified and audited practices.

Strategies and processes adopted by Ecobraz

Through an integrated e-waste collection system, Ecobraz promotes the efficient collection of unused electronic devices. Companies and public bodies can make an appointment for collection at https://ecobraz.org/pt_BR/eletronicos. This operation is coordinated under strict security protocols to ensure environmental protection and compliance with current environmental legislation.

In addition to collection, the NGO carries out the process of sanitizing hard drives and other storage media, ensuring the complete destruction of data and the protection of confidential information. Interested parties can request this specialized service by making an appointment at https://ecobraz.org/pt_BR/sanitizacao-de-hd.

Results and impacts of Ecobraz's work

Since its foundation, Ecobraz has recycled thousands of tons of electronic waste, preventing contamination of soil, water and air, and promoting the responsible reuse of materials. Its work fosters the circular economy, generates green jobs and raises awareness in the production chain about the importance of sustainability.

Importance for the corporate and public sector

Public and private sector organizations find in Ecobraz a strategic partner for the environmentally correct management of their electrical and electronic waste, mitigating legal, environmental and reputational risks. Compliance with Law No. 12.305/2010 and its complementary resolutions, such as those of CETESB and the parameters of the National Solid Waste Management Information System (SINIR), are ensured through the NGO's practices.
