European Climate Fund: Ecobraz project meets all eligibility criteria

The Ecobraz project, aligned with the guidelines of the European Climate Fund, fully complies with the eligibility criteria established for financing sustainable initiatives. The initiative promotes the effective management of electronic waste, ensuring the safe sanitization of media and environmentally correct disposal, in accordance with current Brazilian regulations.

European Climate Fund context and eligibility requirements

The European Climate Fund (ECF) directs resources to projects that directly contribute to mitigating climate change, in line with the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The eligibility criteria cover strict environmental, social and technical requirements, including demonstrating a positive impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and compliance with national environmental legislation.

Description of the Ecobraz project and its environmental compliance

The Ecobraz project promotes the management and proper treatment of electronic waste with a focus on minimizing environmental impacts. It operates with certified e-waste collection processes, available at scheduling for e-waste collection, guaranteeing traceability and transparency. In addition, it ensures the sanitization of hard drives and other media, preventing risks of data breaches, according to growing demand in the information security segment, carried out through validated and standardized technical processes, described in safe disposal of hard drives and digital media.

Legal basis and applicable Brazilian regulations

The project fully complies with the National Solid Waste Policy (Law No. 12.305/2010 - Planalto.gov.br), ensuring compliance with shared responsibilities in waste management. Compliance is also observed in accordance with guidelines from the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (ABNT), and regulations from the São Paulo State Department of Infrastructure and Environment (CETESB), ensuring that collection and treatment operations are in line with current resolutions. Alignment with safe operating standards is backed up by the best practices recommended by the Ministry of the Environment and related bodies.

Positive impact on sustainability and technological innovation

Ecobraz contributes directly to reducing the carbon footprint by optimizing reverse logistics and promoting the recycling and reuse of electronic components. In addition, the proper management of electronic waste mitigates environmental contamination and public health risks. The initiative uses advanced technologies to sanitize media, guaranteeing data protection and helping to strengthen corporate cyber security.

Conclusion

The Ecobraz project demonstrates formal alignment with the criteria required by the European Climate Fund, standing out for its legal, technical and environmental compliance. The initiative represents a replicable model for circular economy and sustainable management projects, as well as boosting positive impacts in the fight against climate change.
