Remediation activities and other waste management services

NACE code 39 covers a critical sector of the economy - remediation activities and other waste management services. This industry plays a vital role in addressing environmental challenges, ensuring the proper disposal and treatment of waste, and contributing to the overall sustainability of our communities. As the global focus on environmental protection and resource efficiency continues to grow, the importance of this industry cannot be overstated.

The main production techniques used in this industry involve a range of waste management and remediation processes. This can include the collection, transportation, and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous waste, as well as the remediation of contaminated land and groundwater. Specialized techniques such as incineration, landfilling, and recycling are commonly employed to handle different types of waste and ensure their safe and responsible disposal.

The key inputs required for this industry include a variety of waste materials, specialized equipment and machinery for waste management and remediation, and a skilled workforce with expertise in environmental regulations and best practices. Additionally, the industry relies on access to appropriate disposal and treatment facilities, as well as transportation infrastructure to move waste from its source to the necessary processing sites.

The primary outputs of this industry are the safe and responsible disposal or treatment of waste, as well as the remediation of contaminated sites. The outputs of this industry are often consumed by other NACE codes, such as 38 Waste collection, treatment and disposal activities; materials recovery and 37 Sewerage, which rely on the services provided by the remediation and waste management industry to manage their own waste streams.
