Objectives:

Environmental:

• Reducing environmental impacts with the recovery and reuse of electrical equipment.

• Avoid CO₂ emissions associated with the production of new equipment (approximately 21,000 tons of CO₂ equivalent avoided in 2024).

• To promote circular economy, reusing valuable materials such as copper, aluminum and oils.

• Properly dispose of materials that cannot be reused for certified recycling companies.

Operational and Economic:

• Extend the lifespan of equipment, with an average of 20 years by transformer or regulator.

• Reducing the need to purchase new materials (cheaper 80% copper), saving approximately R$ 3 million/year.

• Recover 70,000 electrical network equipment until 2030.

• Reusing poles, crossarms, cables, and insulators, transforming them into gravel, sand, and products for civil construction.

Results Achieved (up to 2024):

• 9,876 pieces of equipment refurbished in 2024.

• Reuse of approximately 1,000 tons/year of metallic and plastic waste.

• Avoidance of 21 thousand tons of CO₂ equivalent. due to the reuse of transformers.

• Consolidated integration of Reverse logistics and circular economy in CPFL's value chain.

Infrastructure:

• Location: São José do Rio Pardo (SP)

• Built area: 3,783 m²

• 15 operational sectors in the recovery line (dismantling, boiler making, painting, testing, assembly, chemical laboratory, etc.).

• Certifications: ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 17025 e Inmetro Seal.
