The Social Impact of Ecobraz’s Recycling Projects

Introduction: Recycling that transforms lives

While most people associate recycling solely with environmental preservation, Ecobraz Emigre’s projects show that it can go much further. Each piece of properly discarded electronics can generate tangible social benefits that impact families, communities, and the future of thousands of people.

Digital inclusion: Technology within everyone’s reach

One of Ecobraz’s main social pillars is the Reciclando project, which transforms functional equipment into technology centers for low-income communities.

• Reused computers, notebooks, and tablets become tools for education.

• Vulnerable youth and adults gain access to the internet and digital training.

• Digital inclusion expands opportunities for employment and entrepreneurship.

Job and income generation

Ecobraz’s recycling chain creates both formal and informal jobs at multiple stages:

• Collection and transportation → logistics operations that support local economies.

• Dismantling and sorting → hiring of specialized labor.

• Material processing → industries and workshops dedicated to recycling.

• Administrative activities → technical and documentation support.

Each ton processed also represents direct contributions to the social economy.

Professional training

Beyond digital inclusion, Ecobraz’s projects promote professional development for youth and adults:

• Workshops and training in equipment maintenance.

• Courses on reverse logistics and sustainability.

• Skills that increase employability and economic independence.

Impact on vulnerable communities

Ecobraz’s social projects prioritize regions most in need:

• Favelas and peripheral communities receive technology centers.

• Public schools and community associations are supported with equipment donations.

• Digital inclusion becomes a tool for social transformation.

International recognition

Ecobraz’s social impact has been recognized by both national and international entities:

• Award-winning NGO for innovation in recycling with social impact.

• Partnerships with major brands that support the projects as part of their ESG policies.

• Global example of how recycling can be an ally of social inclusion.

The role of companies and society

The continuation of Ecobraz’s social projects depends on the participation of companies and individuals:

• Companies can integrate reverse logistics and send electronics for recycling.

• Individuals can contribute by donating equipment.

• Support through the Ecobraz Carbon Token ensures the financial sustainability of the initiatives.

Conclusion: Recycling is also about inclusion

Electronics recycling is a bridge between sustainability and social inclusion.
