  1. Environmental Sustainability in Broadband Networks Sebastião Sahão Júnior Director - Corporate Department of Network Infrastructure and Laboratories Rio de Janeiro, 19 de junho de 2012

  2. Environmental Improvements Resulting from the Use of Broadband Tech • Potential impact of changes stemming from the delivery of broadband is estimated to be an incremental reduction of more than 1 billion tons of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions over 10 years

  3. Broadband... Fromdream... ... to reality Batteries Telephones

  4. The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) estimates that some 20 to 50 million tons of e-waste is generated worldwide annually. Brazil 2011 ~ 195 mi people In the past, telecommunications have little impact on the natural environment Currently, the environmental impact is very important.

  5. By the end of 2008, the number of mobile phone subscriptions was five times the number of fixed telephone lines

  6. Environmental effects from operation and production, as well as from the end-of-life treatment of telecommunication equipment, have become increasingly serious issues. Batteries Telephones

  7. Broadband Negative Impact The amount of WEEEs and RoHS has increased very fast, stressing a serious industrial and social control needs. Lead Mercury Cadmium Arsenic Source:University of Alberta – site: http://www.ualberta.ca/

  8. Project Telecommunications and Its Impact on Health (NIR reduction) and Environment (waste) * Mobile phone batteries: recycling Waste Management Corporate Management of energy expenditure Smart grid: automation, TI and telecom solutions CPqD and the Broadband Sustainability CPqD experience: • (*) Funded by Brazilian Telecom R&D Fund - FUNTTEL

  9. CPqD and the Broadband Sustainability Contributions Replacement of materials and products based on life cycle analysis (LCA), ecodesign and in the reverse logistics (Solid Waste National Politics)

  10. CPqD and the Broadband Sustainability Contributions Waste management technologies

  11. CPqD and the Broadband Sustainability Contributions Management efficiency of spending and consumption ofelectricity and water

  12. CPqD and the Broadband Sustainability Contributions Monitoring Non Ionizing Radiationemission mainly in urban areas

  13. CPqD and the Broadband Sustainability Contributions Management indicators of environmental and economic sustainability, based on the GRI - Global Reporting Initiative https://www.globalreporting.org/Pages/default.aspx

  14. CPqD and the Broadband Sustainability Energy efficiency RoHS and WEEE Directives Recyclable materials Green ICT Etc. Green Seal certification for products: http://www.abntonline.com.br/rotulo/ http://www.anatel.gov.br/Portal/exibirPortalInternet.do

  15. To face the negative impacts to the people and the environment due the growth of the broadband technology… … is necessary to design, build and sell truly environment friendly products… … and a truly environment friendly´s product is a environmentally certified product!

  16. CPqD working for sustainable growing of broadband
