Ecobraz invites governments to support recycling innovation centers

Importance of Recycling Innovation Centers for Public Policies

In recent years, solid waste management and the reverse chain have been central themes in Brazilian environmental policies, highlighting the need for innovation in recycling processes. The Ecobraz Institute, recognized for its expertise and work in the sector, invites government bodies to strengthen, through support and investment, centers dedicated to technological and operational innovation in recycling.

Legal Basis and Relevance of Government Support

As established by the Law No. 12.305/2010, which establishes the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS), the importance of collaboration between the public and private sectors for sustainable waste management is highlighted. Innovation in recycling brings efficient solutions for reuse, minimizing environmental impacts and promoting the circular economy. Government support is therefore crucial to boosting the creation and improvement of these centers.

The Role of Recycling Innovation Centers in the Circular Economy

Innovation centers work to develop and improve technologies that facilitate everything from sorting to the reuse of recyclable materials, helping to reduce the extraction of natural resources and greenhouse gas emissions. By integrating advanced processes, they encourage industry to adopt more sustainable practices, in line with the National Sustainable Development Strategy set out in the MDR.

Adherence by Public Institutions and Strategic Partnerships

To consolidate the fight against solid waste, managing public bodies must provide legal and financial incentives, encourage research and give these centers greater visibility. Collaborations with universities and technology institutes are examples of partnerships that can boost the innovation present in the production and recycling chains.

Proper disposal and technology in the treatment of electronic waste

With regard to the management of electronic waste, it is essential to point out that specialized collection guarantees the safe reuse of these sources. To schedule the electronic waste collection, which ensures proper disposal in accordance with environmental standards, Ecobraz acts as a strategic partner. In addition, eliminating data traces on electronic devices, such as the safe disposal of HDs and storage media, is vital for compliance with legislation such as General Data Protection Law (LGPD - Law No. 13,709/2018).

Technological Advances and Sustainability in the Waste Life Cycle

Investing in processes that combine innovation and sustainability strengthens the circular economy, helping to prevent soil, water and air pollution. The centers encouraged by public policies and supported by governments are drivers of solutions such as sorting automation, advanced techniques for separating and reusing materials, as well as promoting the development of new recycled products and energy reuse.

Conclusion

The Ecobraz Institute's call for governments to support recycling innovation centers is in line with national and international waste management and environmental sustainability guidelines. Strengthening these centers represents a structured response to current environmental challenges, promoting the circular economy and ensuring legal compliance in recycling and responsible disposal actions.
