#isic3830 - Materials recovery

This class includes:

processing of metal and non-metal waste and scrap and other articles into secondary raw materials, usually involving a mechanical or chemical transformation process
recovery of materials from waste streams (#cpc9431) in the form of:
- separating and sorting recoverable materials from non-hazardous waste streams (i.e. garbage)
- separating and sorting of commingled recoverable materials, such as paper, plastics, used beverage cans and metals, into distinct categories

Examples of the mechanical or chemical transformation processes that are undertaken are:

mechanical crushing of metal waste such as used cars, washing machines, bikes etc. with subsequent sorting and separation
dismantling of automobiles, computers, televisions and other equipment for materials recovery
mechanical reduction of large iron pieces such as railway wagons
shredding of metal waste, end-of-life vehicles etc.
other methods of mechanical treatment as cutting, pressing to reduce the volume
ship-breaking
reclaiming metals out of photographic waste, e.g. fixer solution or photographic films and paper
reclaiming of rubber such as used tires to produce secondary raw material
sorting and pelleting of plastics to produce secondary raw material for tubes, flower pots, pallets and the like
processing (cleaning, melting, grinding) of plastic or rubber waste to granulates
crushing, cleaning and sorting of glass
crushing, cleaning and sorting of other waste such as demolition waste to obtain secondary raw material
processing of used cooking oils and fats into secondary raw materials
processing of other food, beverage and tobacco waste and residual substances into secondary raw materials

This class excludes:

manufacture of new final products from (whether or not self-produced) secondary metal raw materials, such as spinning yarn from garnetted stock, making pulp from paper waste, retreading tyres or production of metal from metal scrap, see corresponding classes in section C (Manufacturing)
reprocessing of nuclear fuels, see #isic2011 - Manufacture of basic chemicals
remelting ferrous waste and scrap, see #isic2410 - Manufacture of basic iron and steel
treatment and disposal of non-hazardous waste, see #isic3821 - Treatment and disposal of non-hazardous waste
treatment of organic waste for disposal, see 3821
energy recovery from non-hazardous waste incineration processes, see 3821
disposal of used goods such as refrigerators to eliminate harmful waste, see #isic3822 - Treatment and disposal of hazardous waste
treatment and disposal of transition radioactive waste from hospitals etc., see 3822
treatment and disposal of toxic, contaminated waste, see 3822
dismantling of automobiles, computers, televisions and other equipment to obtain and resell usable parts, see section G
wholesale of recoverable materials, see #isic4669 - Wholesale of waste and scrap and other products n.e.c.
