ISIC 3830—Materials and other waste recovery
Class · International Standard Industrial Classification (Revision 5 (2024))
Where 3830 sits
What 3830 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 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 mechanical processing (e.g. cleaning, grinding) of plastics to produce secondary raw material
- Processing (cleaning, melting, grinding) of plastic or rubber waste to granulates
- Processing (aging, cleaning, sorting) of incineration bottom ash into secondary raw materials (metals, aggregates)
- Crushing, cleaning and sorting of glass
- Crushing, cleaning and sorting of other waste such as: demolition waste to obtain secondary raw material
- Recovery of waste oil, 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
- 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 mechanical processing (e.g. cleaning, grinding) of plastics to produce secondary raw material
- Processing (cleaning, melting, grinding) of plastic or rubber waste to granulates -processing (aging, cleaning, sorting) of incineration bottom ash into secondary raw materials (metals, aggregates)
- Crushing, cleaning and sorting of glass
- Crushing, cleaning and sorting of other waste such as: demolition waste to obtain secondary raw material
- Recovery of waste oil, 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
What 3830 excludes
- Manufacture of new final products from secondary metal raw materials (whether or not self-produced), 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)

- Remelting ferrous waste and scrap, see 2410
- Remelting of plastics to produce granulates or compounds, see 2013
- Treatment and disposal of non-hazardous waste, see 3821
- 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 3822
- 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
