The program’s main objective is to implement the reuse and sustainable disposal of electronic waste, including telecommunication and computer goods which have become obsolete. It is a pioneer action in a public agency.
CEDIR was founded in December 2009 and has a capacity to deposit, categorize and allocate from 500 to 1000 equipment per month. As a result, it is guaranteed that the computer waste of USP has a sustainable disposal and may be reused in the production chain. The equipment and components which are in conditions of use will be evaluated and donated to social initiatives, offering access to information and education for the poor. At the end of its useful life, the equipment will be returned to USP, which will be responsible for its sustainable disposal.
O CEDIR faz parte da Prefeitura do Campus USP da Capital, e foi inaugurado em 2009, com o objetivo principal de realizar o gerenciamento adequado de equipamentos de informática e telefonia descartados pelas Unidades da Cidade Universitária “Armando de Salles Oliveira” (CUASO) e da Escola de Artes, Ciências e Humanidades (EACH), na USP Leste, além do Quadrilátero da Saúde e Direito (QSD). Ele foi elaborado em parceria com dois programas do Massachussetts Institute of Technology (MIT), além de seguir as diretrizes mundiais de sustentabilidade definidas pela ONU, no World Summit, de 2005.
