A Brazil National Solid Waste Policy term for returning solid waste to the business sector for reuse, production cycles, or environmentally appropriate final destination.
Brazil’s National Solid Waste Policy defines reverse logistics in Portuguese as a system of actions, procedures, and means for collecting and returning solid waste to the business sector. The draft English translation helps English readers understand the term, but the Portuguese legal text remains authoritative.
The source is Brazil’s National Solid Waste Policy, Law No. 12.305 of 2 August 2010. It supplies a broad solid-waste reverse-logistics term that can support battery and circularity workflows, while CONAMA Resolution 401/2008 supplies more battery-specific Brazil context.
For implementation teams, model reverse logistics as a return-flow and responsibility layer: collection, restitution to the business sector, reuse in production cycles, or environmentally appropriate final destination. Preserve the Portuguese source and draft English translation separately.
Law No. 12.305 of 2 August 2010 — National Solid Waste Policy
instrumento de desenvolvimento econômico e social caracterizado por um conjunto de ações, procedimentos e meios destinados a viabilizar a coleta e a restituição dos resíduos sólidos ao setor empresarial, para reaproveitamento, em seu ciclo ou em outros ciclos produtivos, ou outra destinação final ambientalmente adequada
Brazil source-specific definition; Portuguese text is authoritative and the English translation is a draft Minespider working translation.
Reference: Article 3, point XII
Brazil-facing workflows should capture the return-flow record, collection point, business-sector actor, product or waste identifier, reuse route, recycling or recovery route, final-destination evidence, and source reference without treating Brazil reverse logistics as ordinary shipment tracking.
Reverse logistics is a Brazil return-flow control: the evidence consequence is that battery or material records can connect collection and return pathways to business-sector responsibility, reuse routes, and final-destination evidence while keeping the Brazil National Solid Waste Policy source visible.
