What 38300 includes

• The process of transforming scrap, unusable materials, and other metal and non-metal materials into secondary raw materials through mechanical (e.g., cutting, pressing to reduce size) or chemical processes. Examples include: • crushing metal waste such as used cars, washing machines, bicycles, or motorcycles, etc., followed by sorting and classification of materials. • disassembling cars, computers, televisions, and other equipment to obtain recyclable materials. • reducing large steel components (e.g., train carriages) using mechanical methods. • cutting metal waste, vehicle carcasses, etc., into pieces. • disassembling ships and other floating structures. • separating metals from photographic waste such as film developing solutions. • film and paper for photographic production. • recycling of used rubber, which involves using used rubber to produce secondary raw materials. • separation and pelletization of plastics to produce secondary raw materials for making pipes, planters, pallets, and similar products. • processing (cleaning, melting, grinding) of plastic or rubber waste into pellets. • grinding, cleaning, and sorting of glass. • grinding, cleaning, and sorting of other waste. To obtain secondary raw materials, such as demolition waste • processing used cooking oil and fats into secondary raw materials. • processing waste and scraps from food, beverage, and tobacco into secondary raw materials.
• Reusing waste materials by: • separating recyclable materials from non-hazardous waste. • separating recyclable materials such as paper, plastic, beverage cans, and used metal, etc., that are mixed together into categories.
