Brazil Launches Nationwide E-Waste Collection Service

Brazil's postal service has launched a nationwide e-waste collection service, partnering with Circular Brain to collect post-consumer electronics at all 6,868 post offices offering Citizen Service Center services. The free service accepts equipment weighing up to 30 kilograms and tracks the entire process. Accepted items include cell phones, laptops, tablets, headphones, and other small electronic devices. This initiative aims to address the issue of improper disposal, which contaminates soil and water and wastes valuable raw materials.
