Brasil Pelo Meio Ambiente

ABOUT IT

RecyclePC is an initiative that promotes the correct disposal of computers and provides discounts on the purchase of a new one. Through the website, consumers can evaluate their used computer, which is then sent to a recycler who dismantles it manually (which in other parts of the world is done by machines) - creating jobs.

 

Computers that can still be fixed are reconditioned and sold by recyclers. Computers that can't be fixed are dismantled by recyclers, who sell all the parts to manufacturers or industries that produce raw materials, making circular economy possible.

Results and Objectives

The project has already evaluated 145,271 cases and 350 computers have been recovered. In addition, 500 kg of waste (metal, plastic, glass and electronic components) has no longer been sent to landfills.

 

The aim is for the initiative to ensure that 20 tons of waste is no longer sent to landfill.
