Used notebook in small businesses: recycling stream with Ecobraz

Importance of used notebook management

The proper handling of notebooks in the small corporate context is crucial for environmental compliance and information security. According to the National Solid Waste Policy (Law No. 12.305/2010, available at planalto.gov.br), the correct disposal of electrical and electronic waste is a shared responsibility, including the end user.

Recycling flow for used notebooks

The process begins with making users aware of the importance of delivering the equipment to specialized collection points. For notebooks, it is recommended to use the e-waste collection services offered by Ecobraz (eletrônicos agendamento), which promotes the environmentally appropriate disposal of these materials.

After collection, notebooks go through rigorous stages of technical evaluation to identify reusable components, metal recycling and proper disposal of hazardous substances, in accordance with the guidelines of the National Information System on Solid Waste Management (SINIR - sinir.gov.br).

Sanitization and safe disposal of storage media

For media such as hard drives found in notebooks, Ecobraz offers a digital sanitization service that guarantees the safe removal of data, protecting sensitive information and complying with information security regulations. The service can be scheduled at electronics scheduling.

Compliance and environmental benefits

Conducting the correct disposal and recycling cycle for notebooks helps to comply with current environmental legislation, such as CONAMA Resolution No. 401/2008, which provides for the management of solid industrial and electrical and electronic waste (ibama.gov.br).

In addition, it reduces the negative environmental impacts associated with improper disposal, such as contamination of soil and water by heavy metals present in electronic components.

Final considerations

Small businesses should implement internal policies that encourage the return and recycling of used notebooks to specialized centers such as Ecobraz, optimizing the management of technology waste and guaranteeing information security. Adhering to these practices reinforces the commitment to sustainability and social responsibility in accordance with Brazilian legislation.
