A7 Brasil purchases local electronic waste material, identifies and selects the parts that are fit for reselling, and markets them to European and American companies that specialize in the recovery of metals contained in this waste material.

Brazil’s Electronics Market:

  • Market research conservatively estimates that 1.3 million tons of electronics will be manufactured in Brazil in the next 5 years.

A7 Brasil: Making a difference

  • Of the 600,000 tons of electronics discarded annually, A7 Brasil recycled 1.4% in the first year, 2.5% in the second, 5% in the third, 7% in the fourth and 9.9% in the fifth year of operations.

  • A7 Brasil is the only fully CETESB (Companhia de Tecnologia de Saneamento Ambiental) licensed electronics recycler in Brazil.

Environmental and social impacts:

  • A7’s business model decreases energy use by 80% by creating one ton of recycled aluminum compared to one ton of mined aluminum.

  • A7 also recycles toxic and non-biodegradable products to prevent water and soil contamination and the reduction of environmental damage caused by mining activities.
