Recycling of Used Computers in São Paulo
Legal Context of Used Computer Recycling in São Paulo
The recycling of used computers in the state of São Paulo is regulated according to the National Solid Waste Policy (Law No. 12,305/2010, available at planalto.gov.br) and the specific standards of the National Information System on Solid Waste Management (SINIR, accessible at sinir.gov.br).
Responsibilities and Logistics for Recycling
According to Article 33 of the aforementioned law, the generator is responsible for the proper management of electronic waste, including used computers, ensuring appropriate disposal through authorized reverse logistics systems. In São Paulo, CETESB supervises and regulates local processes, as per information available at cetesb.sp.gov.br.
Technical Procedures for Collection and Recycling
Selective collection and proper disposal of electronic waste can be carried out through organized systems that guarantee sorting, disassembly, and environmentally appropriate treatment of electronic components. To schedule electronic waste collection in São Paulo, the Ecobraz platform was developed to assist in complying with environmental requirements.
Sanitization and Safe Disposal of Storage Media
Hard drives (HDs) and other media require rigorous sanitization processes to ensure the protection of confidential information. Certified techniques are recommended for the physical or electronic destruction of data, following the guidance of national technical standards and official sources. For security and environmental compliance, interested parties can use the online HD sanitization service.
Environmental and Regulatory Benefits
Recycling computers prevents soil and water contamination by heavy metals and toxic substances present in electronic components. Observance of legal obligations, according to Decree No. 10,936/2022 (available at in.gov.br), reinforces the importance of correct waste disposal for urban and industrial sustainability.
Final Considerations
The proper management of used computer recycling contributes to compliance with current environmental legislation and mitigates impacts on ecosystems and public health in São Paulo. Professionals connected to ESG, IT, and Legal sectors must stay attentive to regulations and use official channels for scheduling and attending safe disposal and sanitization of electronic equipment.
ManifestTransparency & Security Manifesto
Evidence and transparency: Our ESG approach is built on traceable documentation, verifiable records and auditable operational criteria. We turn electronic waste management into operational evidence to support governance, traceability and the mitigation of environmental, documentary and corporate risks. Documentary security and compliance: Documented traceability helps reduce regulatory exposure, strengthens documentary defensibility and supports alignment with applicable environmental policies, corporate contracts and governance requirements, including national and international references relevant to supply chains. Operational costing of reverse logistics: Door-to-door collection and responsible processing of electronic waste involve relevant logistics, technical and documentary costs. For this reason, Ecobraz structures transparent operational costing models linked to reverse logistics execution, with no promise of financial return, investment or asset appreciation. Governance: Operational execution is guided by compliance, traceability and verifiable documentation criteria. The priority is to strengthen the client’s corporate evidence, reduce documentary gaps and support safer, more responsible and defensible disposal decisions.
