Ecobraz invites manufacturers to co-finance disassembly centers in Brazil

Context and Importance of Disassembly Centers

With the constant increase in technological consumption, the need for proper management of electronic waste has become imperative in order to comply with current legislation, such as Law No. 12.305/2010 - National Solid Waste Policy and the National Solid Waste Management Information System (SINIR). In this context, disassembly centers play a crucial role in the efficient and sustainable management of these materials.

Ecobraz's Invitation to Cofinance

Ecobraz, an organization that works in reverse waste logistics, proposes cooperation with manufacturers to cofinance disassembly centers in Brazil, which are essential for the safe and proper disassembly of electronic items. This initiative is aligned with compliance with the guidelines of the Ecobraz and with meeting the shared responsibilities provided for in environmental legislation.

Benefits of Implementing Disassembly Centers

The centers allow electronic components to be segregated and properly directed for recycling, reuse or safe disposal, avoiding environmental impact and risks to public health. In addition, they strengthen the reverse logistics chain and facilitate the correct collection of electronic waste in accordance with the guidelines of the CETESB.

Regulatory and Technical Aspects

According to MMA Ordinance No. 277/2019, which regulates the reverse logistics process, manufacturers have shared responsibility for the management of post-consumer waste. Co-participation in the financing of disassembly centers makes it possible to comply with this standard and reduces the pressure on public collection and treatment systems.

Safe Disposal of Storage Devices

In addition to standard disassembly processes, items such as storage devices require specific care to de-characterize the data. Ecobraz offers solutions for the safe disposal of media and hard drives, guaranteeing the protection of sensitive information in accordance with the best technical practices.

Final Considerations

The involvement of manufacturers by co-financing disassembly centers is an essential strategy for the sustainability of the sector and legal compliance. Collaboration strengthens the reverse logistics system, promotes proper recycling and avoids the negative impacts of the incorrect disposal of electronic equipment.
