Where 3830 sits

1. E Water Supply; Wastewater Management, Waste Handling, and Remediation
2. 38 Collection, Processing and Disposal of Waste Or Garbage; and Recovery Activities
3. 383 Recovery of Materials, Waste, Or Other Garbage
4. 3830 Recovery of Materials, Waste, Or Other Garbage

Contains 3 narrower codes

• 38301 Recovery of Metal Materials
• 38302 Recovery of Plastic Materials
• 38309 Other Material Recovery

What 3830 includes

• Activities for managing metal and non-metal waste and other materials into secondary raw materials (raw materials originating from recycling), usually including mechanical or chemical change processes;
• Recovery of materials from waste collections, such as: separation and sorting of recoverable materials from non-hazardous waste; separation and sorting of recoverable materials, such as paper, plastic, textiles, finished textile goods, used beverage cans, and scrap metal. Examples of mechanical and chemical transformation processes to obtain secondary raw materials are:
• Mechanical destruction of metal waste, such as cars, washing machines, used bicycles and so on, which are then sorted and separated;
• Dismantling of cars, computers, televisions and other equipment for material recovery;
• Mechanical reduction of large pieces of iron, like a train carriage;
• Slicing or cutting of metal waste, scrap vehicles, etc.;
• Other mechanical management methods, such as cutting and pressing to reduce volume;
• Ship dismantling;
• Metal recovery from photographic waste For example fixer solution or photographic film and paper;
• Rubber recovery from various sources, such as used tires to produce secondary raw materials;
• Sorting and mechanical processing (e.g. cleaning, grinding) of plastics to produce secondary raw materials;
• Processing (cleaning, melting, grinding) of plastic or rubber waste into granules;
• Sorting, recovery and mechanical or chemical processing of used textile/textile waste, used ready-made clothing and other used finished textile goods to produce secondary raw materials;
• Processing (fermentation, cleaning, sorting) of bottom ash from combustion into secondary raw materials (metal, aggregate);
• Crushing, cleaning and sorting of glass;
• Destruction, cleaning and sorting of other waste, such as demolition waste to obtain secondary raw materials;
• Waste oil recovery, processing used cooking oil and fat into secondary raw materials;
• Processing of food, beverage and other tobacco waste and waste materials into secondary raw materials.

What 3830 excludes

• Manufacture of new finished products from secondary raw materials (whether produced in-house or not), such as spinning yarn from recycled fiber (garnetted stock), making paper pulp from waste paper, retreading tires, or producing metal from scrap metal, see related groups in category C (industry);
• Nuclear fuel reprocessing, see class 2011;
• Remelting of metal waste and scrap, see class 2410;
• Remelting of plastics to produce granules or compounds, see class 2013;
• Treatment and disposal of non-hazardous waste or rubbish, see class 3821;
• Processing of organic waste for disposal, see class 3821;
• Energy recovery from non-hazardous waste incineration processes, see class 3821;
• Disposal of used goods such as refrigerators to eliminate hazardous waste, see class 3822;
• Processing and disposal of transitional radioactive waste from hospitals, etc., see class 3822;
• Management and disposal of toxic and contaminated waste, see class 3822;
• Dismantling of cars, computers, televisions and other equipment to obtain parts that can be reused (sold), see category G;
• Wholesale trade in recoverable materials, see class 4679.
