Avoid contamination and environmental liabilities: dispose of nobreaks with Ecobraz

In today's world, proper management of discarded electronic equipment is essential to avoid soil, water and air contamination. Because they contain chemical components and heavy metals, UPSs pose an environmental challenge when disposed of incorrectly. Find out how Ecobraz offers efficient solutions for the safe disposal of these devices, preventing environmental liabilities and promoting sustainability.

Why is the correct disposal of nobreaks important?

Nobreaks are electronic devices used to protect equipment against power outages, but their batteries and circuits contain dangerous substances such as lead, sulfuric acid, cadmium and other metals that, if released into nature, contaminate soil and water resources, affecting fauna, flora and human health.

The improper disposal of this waste can generate significant environmental liabilities, compromising urban and rural areas and causing fines and legal sanctions for those who dispose of it incorrectly.

The environmental impact of e-waste

According to recent data, the global volume of e-waste grows every year by an average of 3% per year, and only a small fraction of this total is recycled correctly. Incorrect disposal contributes to pollution and the loss of materials that can be reused, such as rare metals and high-quality plastics.

Nobreaks disposed of in inappropriate places can release toxic substances into the environment, directly affecting biodiversity and the health of nearby communities, generating a lasting negative impact.

How Ecobraz contributes to the sustainable disposal of UPSs

Ecobraz uses specialized processes to receive used UPSs and dispose of them correctly. The process involves safe disassembly, separation of toxic components, recycling of reusable materials and proper treatment of hazardous waste.

Using circular economy concepts, Ecobraz prevents this waste from becoming environmental liabilities, offering a responsible and conscientious solution for the management of end-of-life UPSs.

Benefits of responsible disposal for companies and the environment

Adopting proper disposal practices avoids legal risks related to fines and reputational damage. In addition, it contributes to the conservation of natural resources by promoting the reuse of materials and reducing the consumption of virgin raw materials.

Correct disposal also reinforces the commitment to sustainability, a differentiator increasingly valued by customers, suppliers and business partners, as well as contributing to environmental health and quality of life in the regions where disposal takes place.
