Introduction

Although Brazil lacks a federal omnibus waste regulation, it has regulated specific components and wastes streams.  Batteries have been the subject of special rule since 1999, but the existing standard was replaced entirely by CONAMA Resolution 401 in 2008.  Manufacturers and importers of covered batteries – and the products that contain them -- must comply with registration, testing, take-back and other obligations.  All batteries should be the subject of joint industry/government selective collection programs by 2010, although federal agencies have yet to publish any guidance on that progressive plan.
