What 38.2 includes

This group includes the pre-treatment and recycling of non-hazardous, and hazardous waste. For this purpose, the material recovery, energy recovery by thermal treatment of waste, and other forms of waste utilization. The pre-treatment prior to recovery of various types of waste by different methods is also included in this group.

What 38.2 excludes

Treatment and disposal of wastewater, see 37.00.2
Waste disposal without recovery, see group 38.3
