Other waste disposal

NACE v2.1 Code: E38.33

About other waste disposal

NACE code 38.33 covers the industry of 'Other waste disposal', which plays a crucial role in the broader waste management and recycling ecosystem. This industry is responsible for the treatment and disposal of various types of waste that cannot be handled through more conventional methods, such as landfilling or incineration. The importance of this industry lies in its ability to safely and responsibly manage waste streams that pose unique challenges, ensuring the protection of the environment and public health.

Production process

The main production techniques used in the 'Other waste disposal' industry involve specialized treatment and disposal methods tailored to the specific characteristics of the waste being handled. This can include physical, chemical, or biological processes to stabilize, solidify, or transform the waste into a more manageable form. Key steps may involve sorting, pre-treatment, and the application of advanced technologies like plasma gasification or pyrolysis to break down complex waste materials.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the 'Other waste disposal' industry include a range of waste materials, such as hazardous chemicals, medical waste, radioactive materials, and other specialized waste streams. In addition to the waste itself, the industry relies on specialized equipment, machinery, and infrastructure to handle the waste safely and effectively. This can include treatment facilities, storage tanks, transportation vehicles, and a skilled workforce with expertise in waste management and environmental regulations.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the 'Other waste disposal' industry are the safe and responsible disposal or treatment of waste materials that cannot be handled through more conventional methods. This can include the stabilization or transformation of waste into a less hazardous form, the recovery of valuable resources, or the safe containment and storage of materials that pose significant environmental or health risks. The outputs of this industry may be consumed by 38.21 Waste treatment and disposal, 38.22 Waste treatment and disposal, and other related NACE codes involved in the broader waste management and recycling value chain.
