Ecobraz Guarantees Traceability in the Disposal of Medical Equipment

Importance of Traceability in the Disposal of Medical Equipment

Traceability in the disposal of medical equipment is essential to ensure compliance with current environmental and health regulations. It should be noted that as this equipment contains potentially hazardous components, it requires specific management to ensure control from collection to final disposal, as established by Federal Law No. 12.305/2010 and the National Solid Waste Management Information System (SINIR).

Technological Solutions to Ensure Traceability

The implementation of technological systems that enable traceability of disposal is crucial in the efficient monitoring of the stages involved. Ecobraz uses integrated digital platforms that record each item disposed of, ensuring transparency and compliance with environmental legislation. This approach strictly complies with the guidelines of the State Council for Environmental Control - CETESB for managing electronic waste and discarded equipment.

Environmental Compliance and Legal Security

Organizations that adopt traceability in disposal mitigate environmental and legal risks, aligning themselves with regulations such as the Legal Framework for Basic Sanitation (Law No. 14.026/2021) and the resolution of the National Environmental Council (CONAMA). In addition, documentary proof helps meet tax and institutional demands, strengthening corporate governance.

Safe Data Management in Discarded Equipment

When there is a need to discard media and equipment with data storage, safe sanitization is essential to avoid information leaks. Ecobraz's certified process complies with international information security standards, in accordance with the recommendations of NIST Special Publication 800-88. For specialized services of sanitization of hard drives and media, the platform offers easy scheduling.

Scheduling and Collection Logistics

Efficiency in disposal begins with planning the removal of equipment. Ecobraz's online platform makes it possible to schedule the collection of electronic equipment, promoting proper reverse logistics and reducing environmental impact. The procedure is in line with the requirements of Decree No. 10.936/2022, which regulates the chain of custody of waste.

Benefits of Traceability in the Health Sector

Establishing traceability in the disposal of medical equipment contributes to the sustainability of hospital processes, minimizes contamination risks and ensures compliance with ESG policies. Strict control allows for the generation of management reports and proof before regulatory and environmental bodies, reinforcing the commitment to social and environmental responsibility.
