A Brazil National Solid Waste Policy term for discarded materials, objects, goods, contained gases, and certain liquids that require final destination handling.
Solid waste is the Brazil source layer that supports reverse logistics, recycling, waste management, and final-destination concepts. It is not a synonym for every waste-battery status in other jurisdictions, and it should not be treated as identical to the EU Waste Framework Directive concept of waste or India’s waste-battery definition.
The source is Brazil’s National Solid Waste Policy, Law No. 12.305 of 2 August 2010. The Portuguese legal text remains authoritative; the draft English translation is included for readability and comparison.
Law No. 12.305 of 2 August 2010 — National Solid Waste Policy
material, substância, objeto ou bem descartado resultante de atividades humanas em sociedade, a cuja destinação final se procede, se propõe proceder ou se está obrigado a proceder, nos estados sólido ou semissólido, bem como gases contidos em recipientes e líquidos cujas particularidades tornem inviável o seu lançamento na rede pública de esgotos ou em corpos d’água, ou exijam para isso soluções técnica ou economicamente inviáveis em face da melhor tecnologia disponível
Brazil source-specific definition; Portuguese text is authoritative and the English translation is a draft Minespider working translation.
Reference: Article 3, point XVI
Brazil-facing workflows should capture the Brazil waste record, discarded object, material or substance type, generator or holder, reverse-logistics link, waste-management route, destination evidence, and source reference while preserving the Portuguese legal-text boundary.
Solid waste is a Brazil waste-scope control: the evidence consequence is that return-flow and destination records can connect to Brazil circularity rules without turning the Portuguese source wording into a generic global waste classification.
