Abstract
In 2010 Brazil has instituted the national policy on solid waste (law 12.305/2010) that determines a set of principles and actions for the integrated management and environmentally appropriate of solid waste. To support WEEE recycling facilities to comply with national policy on solid waste, in 2013 the Information Technology Center Renato Archer (CTI), coordinated the creation of the Brazilian national standard “ABNT NBR 16156: Electrical and electronic equipment's waste - requirements for reverse manufacturing activity”. Furthermore, since 2015, supported by SIBRATEC, a Brazilian government program of technological extension, CTI has worked with small and medium sized enterprises of WEEE recycling, to help them suit the standard ABNT NBR 16156 requirements. This paper presents the technological efforts, of the Brazilian government, to support the WEEE recycling companies to comply the environmental sound practices, and thus, facilitate their participation in the reverse logistics system, regulated by the national policy on solid waste.
