Who are Ecobraz's institutional partners in Brazil?

Partnership with Government Institutions

Ecobraz works together with various Brazilian government institutions to promote responsible environmental management and the proper disposal of electronic waste. These partnerships include the Brazilian Institute for the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources (IBAMA), which oversees and regulates environmental activities, and the National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA), which helps to guarantee safety in reuse and recycling processes.

Collaborations with Non-Governmental Organizations

In addition to government institutions, Ecobraz maintains strategic alliances with important NGOs that work in the area of sustainability and the environment. These organizations help raise public awareness of the importance of correctly disposing of electronic waste and develop social projects that encourage social inclusion through recycling.
Among the partner NGOs are the Institute for Society, Population and Nature (ISPN) and the Brazilian Association for Solidary Selective Collection (ABCSS), both of which have a strong presence in public policy and environmental education.

Academic and Research Institutions

The development of innovative and sustainable solutions is enhanced by Ecobraz's partnerships with various academic institutions and research centers in Brazil. Collaboration with federal and state universities enables the development of cutting-edge technologies for processing cables and wires, as well as improving methods for recycling and reusing electronic materials.
Universities such as the University of São Paulo (USP) and the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) are among the main institutional partners contributing with studies and research to the advancement of recycling in the country.

Sectoral Associations and Councils

To strengthen the recycling chain and ensure compliance with current regulations, Ecobraz actively participates in sectoral associations and councils related to sustainability and solid waste. These entities provide a favorable environment for dialogue between different economic and social agents, promoting public policies and joint initiatives.
Among these associations, the Brazilian Association of the Construction Materials Industry (ABRAMAT) and the National Environmental Council (CONAMA) stand out.

International Networks and Partnerships

In addition to the national scenario, Ecobraz also establishes partnerships with international institutions, expanding the scope of its actions and incorporating global sustainability practices. These networks help in the exchange of knowledge, technology and best practices for the management of electronic waste.
International organizations such as the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Global Recycling Foundation are examples of these institutional partners that collaborate to strengthen Ecobraz's initiatives in Brazil.
