Collection of non-hazardous waste

NACE v2.0 Code: E38.11

About collection of non-hazardous waste

NACE code 38.11 covers the collection of non-hazardous waste, an essential industry that plays a crucial role in the broader waste management and recycling ecosystem. This industry is responsible for gathering and transporting a wide range of non-hazardous materials, including household waste, commercial refuse, and certain industrial byproducts, ensuring their proper disposal or recycling. As the world becomes increasingly conscious of the need for sustainable waste management practices, the 38.11 industry has gained significant importance in supporting the circular economy and reducing the environmental impact of waste.

Production process

The collection of non-hazardous waste typically involves a multi-step process. First, waste is gathered from various sources, such as households, businesses, and public spaces, using specialized collection vehicles. These vehicles are designed to efficiently transport and compact the collected waste. Once the waste is gathered, it is transported to sorting and processing facilities, where it is separated into different categories based on material type, such as paper, plastic, metal, and organic waste. This sorting process allows for the efficient recycling or disposal of the various waste streams.

Production inputs

The 38.11 industry relies on several key inputs to carry out its operations. These include collection vehicles, such as garbage trucks and compactors, as well as fuel to power these vehicles. Additionally, the industry requires labor, in the form of waste collection workers and drivers, to physically collect and transport the waste. Other important inputs include waste containers, such as bins and dumpsters, which are used to store and transport the collected materials.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 38.11 industry is the collection and transportation of non-hazardous waste to appropriate disposal or recycling facilities. The collected waste can then be processed and sorted by other NACE codes, such as 38.21 Treatment and disposal of non-hazardous waste and 38.32 Recovery of sorted materials, which are responsible for the further treatment, disposal, and recycling of the waste materials. The efficient collection and transportation of non-hazardous waste is a crucial step in the overall waste management and recycling value chain.
