Circular Economy: Ecobraz Emigre's DNA

The Circular Economy represents a structural change in resource management, emphasizing reduction, reuse and recycling to minimize environmental impacts and promote sustainability. Ecobraz Emigre incorporates this concept with a focus on practices that respect current regulations, offering effective reverse logistics solutions and safe processing of electronic materials.

Concept and Importance of the Circular Economy

Brazilian legislation, especially the Law No. 13.893/2019, establishes guidelines for the National Circular Economy Policy, highlighting its crucial role in the transition to sustainable models. It is a system that aims to keep resources in use for as long as possible, extracting their maximum value before recovering and regenerating products and materials at the end of their life cycle.

Normative and Legal Guidelines

In addition to the aforementioned law, the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS) - Law No. 12.305/2010 determines shared responsibility for the life cycle of products, encouraging reverse logistics systems and reducing the environmental impact of waste. This standard is fundamental to the actions of organizations focused on sustainability and the responsible management of waste generated in the industrial and commercial sector.

Circular Economy Practices in the Management of Electronic Materials

Ecobraz Emigre applies strategies in line with environmental regulations for the management of electronic waste, including processes that include the collection, sorting and reuse of components with safe origins. For requests for electronic waste collection, it provides efficient and certified channels, guaranteeing correct disposal in accordance with the requirements of the PNRS and other regulations of the National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) and the National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology (INMETRO).

Safe Sanitization of Digital Media and Equipment

The safe disposal of digital media, such as hard drives and storage devices, requires strict procedures to eliminate the risk of data leakage. Technical protocols recommended by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) are adopted by Ecobraz Emigre to ensure hard drive sanitization and secure destruction, in line with the General Data Protection Law (LGPD - Law No. 13.709/2018) and international best practices.

Contribution to Corporate Sustainability

Adopting the circular economy contributes directly to corporate sustainability, mitigates regulatory risks and promotes institutional reputation. The incorporation of these practices results in economic benefits through a reduction in raw material costs and the proper disposal of waste, as well as reinforcing environmental commitment.

Final Thoughts

Ecobraz Emigre's DNA is based on the circular economy, eschewing the linear extract-produce-discard model by implementing processes that promote the reuse and recovery of materials. Compliance with current legislation ensures compliance in its operations, placing this institution as a benchmark in sustainability and responsible waste management on the Brazilian scene.
