Reverse logistics of electronics: how your company can reduce risks and create value

Description: Reverse logistics of electronics is a legal requirement in Brazil and a competitive advantage for companies aligning with ESG practices. This article explains the legislation, the strategic benefits, and how the Ecobraz Emigre NGO stands out as the ideal partner for businesses seeking secure and fully documented solutions.

What is reverse logistics of electronics?

Reverse logistics is the process of collecting and properly disposing of products after the end of their lifecycle. For electronics, this includes collection, transportation, dismantling, recycling, and environmentally safe disposal. The goal is to ensure that valuable materials such as precious metals are reused, while hazardous substances are neutralized safely.

Legal requirements in Brazil

The National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS – Law nº 12.305/2010) obliges manufacturers, importers, distributors, and retailers of electronic products to implement reverse logistics systems. Additional resolutions from CONAMA and state regulations reinforce the shared responsibility for product lifecycle management.

Companies that fail to comply with the law may face fines, civil actions, and even criminal liability for environmental damage.

Main benefits for companies

Beyond compliance, well-structured reverse logistics brings strategic advantages to businesses:

• Reduced legal risks: full compliance with Brazilian environmental laws;
• ESG reputation: stronger image of sustainability and corporate responsibility;
• Circular economy: recovery of valuable inputs such as copper, aluminum, and gold;
• Competitive edge: companies that document their environmental practices stand out in tenders and international negotiations.
