CEO of Ecobraz and Founder of Villanova ESG, Marcio Villanova works at the intersection of Brazilian operational execution, traceability, environmental documentation, auditable ESG and regulatory risk in supply chains exposed to the European market.
His background was built from real operational experience. Over more than 16 years leading Ecobraz, he has developed practical expertise in reverse logistics, corporate waste, technology disposal, traceability, environmental documentation and operational evidence architecture for companies seeking to reduce documentary, environmental, contractual and reputational exposure.
This operational foundation shaped a clear view: corporate sustainability without proof of execution is fragile. In audits, contracts, due diligence and compliance reviews, what protects a company is not the statement. It is the ability to prove what was done, how it was done, by whom it was done and which documents support the chain.
At Ecobraz, Marcio Villanova leads a practice focused on operational chains structured around:
His work starts from a practical premise: corporate environmental management must be treated as a matter of risk, process, documentation and governance, not only as an accessory obligation or institutional narrative.
Ecobraz represents the operational layer of this vision. The company supports Brazilian execution through more traceable, documented and verifiable operational chains, within the limits of what can be evidenced by the operation itself.
This means working with concrete operational elements such as origin, collection, transport, segregation, treatment, destination, de-characterization when applicable, documentation and consistency between operational records and corporate evidence.
In practice, this contributes to risk exposure reduction, risk mitigation and documentary defensibility in sensitive matters for companies, boards, legal teams, compliance, procurement, IT, facilities and sustainability departments.
In addition to Ecobraz, Marcio Villanova is the founder of Villanova ESG, a strategic advisory boutique focused on EU-Brazil supplier evidence, buyer-readiness, regulatory defensibility and corporate documentation understandable to CFOs, compliance teams and boards exposed to the European market.
This positioning creates a clear bridge between both structures:
Ecobraz proves what happens in the Brazilian operation. Villanova ESG translates that proof into regulatory evidence for cross-border supply chains.
This thesis has become especially relevant in a regulatory environment shaped by CSDDD, CBAM, EUDR, CSRD, Scope 3 and increasing expectations for buyer-readable documentation in supply chains connected to the European Union.
Marcio Villanova also maintains technical production and public presence focused on institutional authority and documentary traceability, including:
Among his public materials is the technical report “EU-Brazil Supplier Evidence Gap: A Technical Report on Regulatory Defensibility, Buyer-Readiness and Audit-Grade Documentation”, published with DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20317248.
Marcio Villanova advocates a pragmatic approach: waste, technology disposal, traceability, environmental documentation and auditable ESG are not peripheral issues. They affect governance, reputation, contracts, audits, regulatory exposure and commercial continuity.
His work combines two complementary levels:
The result is a value proposition centered on operational proof, documentary clarity and stronger response capacity for companies that cannot treat environmental and regulatory risk as secondary matters.

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.
