The "Google Earth" of electronic recycling: Ecobraz project maps impact in real time

Innovation in Monitoring Electronic Recycling

Ecobraz's project developed a system equivalent to "Google Earth" applied to electronic recycling, enabling real-time monitoring of the environmental and operational impact of electronic waste management. This innovation promotes transparency and efficiency in the process, in line with the sustainable management standards laid down by the National Solid Waste Management Information System (SINIR - Law No. 12.305/2010).

Legal and Regulatory Context

The management of electronic waste is mainly regulated by the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS), Law No. 12.305/2010, available at planalto.gov.br/lei/12305. The law determines shared responsibility between generators, reverse logistics and the environmentally appropriate disposal of waste. SINIR (sinir.gov.br) consolidates data on the generation, transportation and treatment of this waste, and this information is essential for the effective monitoring that Ecobraz's project offers.

Advanced Real-Time Georeferencing Technology

The georeferencing tool developed by Ecobraz uses data collected by sensors and integrated reverse logistics monitoring systems, presenting dynamic maps that indicate the location and volume of electronic waste processed. With this, the technology increases management visibility, which is essential for compliance with environmental requirements and for strategic planning of collection and disposal actions.

Monitoring and Safety in Equipment Disposal

In addition to monitoring the flow of waste, the system supports the safe disposal of storage devices, such as hard drives and digital media, which are essential for protecting sensitive data. The safe disposal of hard drives solution integrated into the project ensures treatment according to the recommended standards, avoiding information leaks and ensuring legal compliance.

Scheduling and Optimization of Collection

The use of this technology is also combined with scheduling systems for the collection and treatment of electronic waste, optimizing routes and processing capacity, avoiding accumulations and negative environmental impacts. More information on scheduling for the collection of electronic waste is made available to facilitate access and the participation of various sectors in responsible management.

Contribution to Corporate Sustainability

This real-time monitoring provides accurate data so that decision-makers linked to ESG, purchasing, IT and legal areas can monitor and prove compliance with legal and internal sustainability requirements. The transparency generated makes it possible to carry out environmental and strategic impact analyses that reinforce environmental governance in the corporate environment.

Final Considerations

The Ecobraz project is an essential technological advance for rigorous control of the electrical and electronic waste cycle. Its alignment with the PNRS guidelines, integration with SINIR, and the application of real-time mapping technologies not only facilitate compliance with legislation, but also strengthen the commitment to a circular and sustainable economy.
