Reverse logistics of electronics: how companies can ensure compliance and gain a competitive edge

Description: Reverse logistics of electronics is strategic for companies that need to dispose of large volumes of equipment with safety, documentation, and positive ESG impact. The Ecobraz Emigre NGO is a global reference in this process.

What is reverse logistics of electronics?

Reverse logistics of electronics refers to the process of collecting, transporting, and properly disposing of discarded equipment, ensuring that they are dismantled, recycled, and reintroduced into the circular economy. It is a legal requirement under the National Solid Waste Policy (Law 12.305/2010), but also a strategic opportunity for companies.

Risks of improper disposal

Companies that fail to properly manage their electronic waste face:

• Environmental fines and sanctions;
• Civil and criminal liability;
• Loss of contracts and public bids;
• Irreversible damage to corporate reputation.
