With solutions focused on environmental management, SIR Ambiente is a specialist in reverse logistics in Brazil.

For almost 20 years, SIR Ambiente, now known as Ambipar Environment SIR Reverse, has been providing industrial management solutions, environmental consultancy, and promoting circular economy processes, as well as reverse manufacturing of medical and hospital equipment, clothing, electronics, lamps, and aerosols.

Founded in 2001, SIR Ambiente was established with the aim of providing environmental solutions to various industries, validating disposal and recycling methods in their processes. As a result, it became one of the pioneers in e-waste reverse logistics and internal management in the food and cosmetic industries.

Over the years, the company has developed treatments, projects, and technical knowledge to offer more suitable and sustainable solutions for each industrial and retail sector.

Here are some of the services offered by the company:

Global Waste Management

Ambipar Environment SIR Reverse specializes in global waste management, boasting top-notch professionals in plan development, management, supplier qualification, internal controls, sustainable practices, and indicator development.
The company’s qualified workforce is also involved in the operational aspects, including internal waste movement, separation, proper storage, and disposal.

Their online environmental monitoring and management system, implemented at Ambipar Environment SIR Reverse, enables seamless client tracking, ensuring commitment to promoting sustainability through waste reduction and recycling.

Hospital Waste Management

Wastes generated by clinics, hospitals, and urgent care facilities should not be disposed of as regular trash, as many of them pose serious risks to public health when not properly handled.
Addressing this concern, Ambipar Environment SIR Reverse offers management services for all types of hospital wastes, from collection to final disposal.

The company also assists in creating or revising the institution’s Healthcare Waste Management Plan (PGRSS), providing innovative solutions for the disposal of explants, medical equipment, medication reverse logistics, and lead apron disposal.

Explants Handling

Ambipar Environment Sir Reverse covers all phases of explant handling, from providing specific containers for storage to collection, destruction, and final disposal. One prerequisite for this service is ensuring that the client has already sterilized the materials.
To ensure proper disposal, SIR follows stringent safety protocols. Upon receiving the explants, they are sterilized again before proceeding with destruction and disposal.

Return Merchandising Authorization (RMA)

RMA is a transaction in which the owner of a defective product sends it back to obtain a repair, replacement, or refund. The product undergoes a series of tests to qualify for RMA.
Ambipar Environment Sir Reverse handles the entire RMA process in compliance with current legislation and consumer protection codes. This includes managing warranty exchange requests, importation, customs clearance, storage, collection, physical and visual inspection, scrap, and final reporting.

SIR becomes Ambipar:

In early September, Ambipar announced the acquisition of SIR Ambiente Inteligência Ambiental.

According to Ambipar, this acquisition creates operational synergy with the existing reverse manufacturing division, offering opportunities for optimizing administrative activities and cross-selling, in line with the strategic growth plan, with potential margin and return maximization.
