Ecobraz: Strategic Partner for Sustainable Laboratories

Introduction to Sustainability in Laboratories

Laboratories play a crucial role in research and development, but face significant environmental challenges due to the generation of special waste and the need for sustainable practices. The partnership with Ecobraz offers strategic solutions to promote sustainability, guaranteeing legal compliance and environmental protection.

Legal and Regulatory Compliance

The Brazilian regulatory context imposes the proper management of laboratory waste in accordance with the National Solid Waste Policy (Law No. 12.305/2010, available at planalto.gov.br). In addition, CONAMA Resolution 358/2005 establishes specific guidelines for the management of health service waste, applicable to laboratories that generate biological and chemical materials.

Electronic Waste Management

Electronic equipment used in laboratories requires special attention for safe and environmentally correct disposal. Ecobraz carries out specialized electronic waste collection and offers scheduling services for electronic waste collection, following the requirements established by the National Solid Waste Management Information System (SINIR, available at sinir.gov.br).

Sanitizing Data on Media and Hard Drives

For laboratories that deal with sensitive information, secure data disposal is vital. Ecobraz offers specialized sanitization services for hard drives and digital media, guaranteeing the complete destruction of data in accordance with the guidelines of the Brazilian standard ABNT NBR ISO/IEC 27040 and international best practices such as those published by NIST (nvlpubs.nist.gov).

Environmental and Management Benefits

By partnering with Ecobraz, laboratories ensure the correct environmental disposal of the waste generated, avoiding environmental liabilities and meeting the requirements of ESG audits and certifications. The segregation, transportation and treatment methodology follows good institutional practices backed by CETESB (cetesb.sp.gov.br), which strengthens the institutional image and contributes to the circular economy.

Conclusion

Adherence to sustainable practices in laboratories is imperative to ensure legal compliance, information security and reduced environmental impact. Ecobraz has positioned itself as an essential strategic partner for meeting these demands in full, offering complete collection, disposal and sanitization solutions in line with current regulations and the principles of sustainability.
