A Brazil CONAMA Resolution 401/2008 term for environmentally appropriate procedures covering used-battery discard, collection, storage, handling, recycling, reuse, treatment, or final disposal.
CONAMA Resolution 401/2008 defines the used-battery management plan in Portuguese. The term is more operational than a broad circularity concept: it names the plan or procedure set that covers used-battery handling steps from discard and collection through recycling, reuse, treatment, or final disposal. The draft English translation is helpful, but the Portuguese legal text remains authoritative.
The source is CONAMA Resolution 401/2008, a Brazil battery-specific source. It should be read alongside Brazil National Solid Waste Policy reverse-logistics language, but the CONAMA term provides the battery-management-plan layer.
For implementation teams, this term belongs near procedure, document, and evidence records: what plan applied, which handling steps were covered, who performed them, and which source-specific Brazil rule anchored the workflow.
CONAMA Resolution No. 401 of 4 November 2008
conjunto de procedimentos ambientalmente adequados para o descarte, segregação, coleta, transporte, recebimento, armazenamento, manuseio, reciclagem, reutilização, tratamento ou disposição final
Brazil source-specific definition; Portuguese text is authoritative and the English translation is a draft Minespider working translation.
Reference: Article 2, point VIII
Use this term when Brazil-facing workflows need a named management-plan layer for used batteries. It can connect collection points, transport, storage, recyclers, reuse pathways, treatment, and final-disposal evidence to the source-specific CONAMA battery rule.
For Minespider, this term is useful because it turns end-of-life battery handling into a structured plan rather than a loose list of events. It can support customer workflows that need to show which procedures governed the used battery and how evidence was attached at each stage.
