Sustainable recycling of hospital machinery with Ecobraz

The hospital sector demands sustainable solutions for the recycling of hospital machinery, which includes electronic and highly complex equipment. Ecobraz offers advanced practices, in line with Brazilian legislation, for the collection, dismantling and responsible reuse of these devices, ensuring compliance with environmental standards and safety in waste management.

Legal Context for Recycling Hospital Equipment

The recycling of hospital machinery must comply with the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS) established by Law No. 12.305/2010, which emphasizes shared responsibility for the life cycle of products, including the environmentally appropriate disposal of electronic waste. SINIR - the National Solid Waste Management Information System, as regulated by Decree No. 10.936/2022, regulates the guidelines for the correct handling of these materials.

Importance of Sustainable Recycling in Hospital Equipment

The incorrect disposal of hospital machinery can generate serious environmental impacts, such as contamination by heavy metals and chemical components present in electronic circuits and specific materials. For this reason, sustainable recycling practices are essential to reduce environmental risks and preserve precious natural resources through the reuse of materials.
