Resumo
The Ambientronic Project was launched in October 2009, bringing together the Ministries of Science and Technology, Environment, Development, Industry and Foreign Trade, the academic and business sectors and the Renato Archer Information Technology Center (CTI). This project aims to cultivate an understanding of the processes involved in the supply and reverse supply chains in the Brazilian electronics industry that could enhance alignment of production activities, technological development and the provision of technology services so as to enable companies to conform to RoHS and WEEE directives. Initial results were gathered from a pilot-study of companies in the electro-medical equipment sector. These results are an important contribution to the government program which seeks to provide the necessary technological support to companies in the electronics industry in Brazil.
