About remediation activities and other waste management service activities

NACE code 39 covers a critical set of industries responsible for the remediation of contaminated sites and the management of various waste streams. These activities play a vital role in maintaining a clean and sustainable environment, protecting public health, and supporting the broader circular economy. Businesses and organizations operating under this NACE code are essential in addressing the environmental challenges faced by modern societies.

Production process

The main production techniques used in NACE code 39 industries involve the collection, treatment, and disposal of waste, as well as the remediation of contaminated sites. This includes the operation of landfills, the incineration of waste, the treatment of hazardous materials, and the decontamination of soil and groundwater. Specialized equipment and technologies are employed to ensure the safe and efficient handling of waste and the effective remediation of polluted areas.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for NACE code 39 activities include raw materials such as waste, contaminated soil, and water, as well as specialized machinery and equipment for waste management and site remediation. These industries also rely on a skilled workforce of engineers, technicians, and environmental specialists to carry out the necessary processes. Additionally, access to appropriate disposal facilities, treatment plants, and transportation infrastructure is crucial for the effective operation of these activities.

Production outputs

The main outputs of NACE code 39 industries are the successful remediation of contaminated sites and the safe disposal or treatment of various waste streams. The treated waste and remediated sites can then be utilized by other industries, such as 38 Waste collection, treatment and disposal activities; materials recovery for further processing or 41 Construction of buildings for redevelopment. The overall goal of these activities is to minimize the environmental impact of waste and contamination, contributing to a more sustainable and circular economy.
