- operation of landfills for the disposal of non-hazardous waste;
- production of compost from organic waste;
- treatment of organic waste for disposal
190202Waste Treatment and Disposal — Hazardous Waste
This class includes the disposal and treatment prior to disposal of solid or non-solid hazardous waste, incl. waste that is explosive, oxidizing, flammable, toxic, irritant, carcinogenic, corrosive, infectious, and other substances and preparations harmful for human health and environment.
This class also includes:
- disposal of used goods such as refrigerators to eliminate harmful waste;
- incineration of hazardous waste;
- operation of facilities for treatment of hazardous waste;

- treatment, disposal, and storage of radioactive nuclear waste: treatment and disposal of transition radioactive waste, i.e. decaying within the period of transport, from hospitals; encapsulation, preparation, and other treatment of nuclear waste for storage
1903Materials Recovery
190301Materials Recovery
- processing of metal and non-metal waste and scrap and other articles into secondary raw materials, usually involving a mechanical or chemical transformation process;
- recovery of materials from waste streams in the form of: separating and sorting recoverable materials from non-hazardous waste streams (i.e. garbage); separating and sorting of commingled recoverable materials, such as paper, plastics, used beverage cans and metals, into distinct categories
Examples of the mechanical or chemical transformation processes that are undertaken are:
- crushing, cleaning and sorting of glass;
- crushing, cleaning and sorting of other waste such as demolition waste to obtain secondary raw material;
- dismantling of automobiles, computers, televisions and other equipment for materials recovery;
- mechanical crushing of metal waste such as used cars, washing machines, bikes etc. with subsequent sorting and separation;
- mechanical reduction of large iron pieces such as railway wagons;
- other methods of mechanical treatment as cutting, pressing to reduce the volume;
- processing (cleaning, melting, grinding) of plastic or rubber waste to granulates;
- processing of other food, beverage and tobacco waste and residual substances into secondary raw materials;
- processing of used cooking oils and fats into secondary raw materials;
- reclaiming metals out of photographic waste, e.g. fixer solution or photographic films and paper;
- reclaiming of rubber such as used tires to produce secondary raw material;
- ship-breaking;
- shredding of metal waste, end-of-life vehicles etc.;
- sorting and pelleting of plastics to produce secondary raw material for tubes, flower pots, pallets and the like
1904Remediation and Other Services
190401Remediation and Other Services
- asbestos, lead paint, and other toxic material abatement;
- clearing of landmines and the like (incl. detonation);
- cleaning up of oil spills and other pollutions on land, in surface water, in ocean and seas, incl. coastal areas;
- decontamination and cleaning up of surface water following accidental pollution, e.g. through collection of pollutants or through application of chemicals;
- decontamination of industrial plants or sites, incl. nuclear plants and sites;
- decontamination of soils and groundwater at the place of pollution, either in situ or ex situ, using e.g. mechanical, chemical or biological methods;
- other specialized pollution-control activities
