What is Reverse Logistics and How Ecobraz Applies This Strategy Sustainably and with Full Traceability

Reverse logistics is a concept increasingly present in the world of sustainability and corporate environmental responsibility. But what exactly is reverse logistics? And how does Ecobraz, the world's largest NGO in electronic recycling, apply this concept in practice?

What is Reverse Logistics?

Simply put, reverse logistics is the process of returning products, materials, or waste from the end consumer back to the manufacturer or responsible party so that they can be reused, recycled, or properly disposed of. This process is essential to the circular economy and is provided for in Brazilian legislation, particularly in the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS).

How Ecobraz Puts It into Practice

Ecobraz operates throughout Brazil collecting unusable electronic equipment such as computers, monitors, printers, cables, routers, and many other items. The NGO organizes the collection, dismantling, sorting, and proper disposal of waste with full traceability via blockchain.

Steps in Ecobraz's Reverse Logistics:

• Scheduling collection with the waste generator.

• Transport to a certified Ecobraz facility.

• Dismantling and sorting of recyclable materials.

• Issuance of destination and carbon offset certificates.

• Reports for ESG purposes, audits, and environmental compliance.

Ecobraz Differentials
