Other waste recovery
What this code covers
Use this class for other waste recovery when the main activity includes Preparation of sewage sludge for land treatment resulting in benefits to agriculture or ecological improvement and Preparation of non-hazardous waste for reclamation in excavated areas or for engineering purposes in landscaping. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Official NACE Rev. 2.1 labels and explanatory notes are imported from the source dataset. Plain-language explanations are shown separately so readers can compare interpretation with the source text.
No child codes; this is a class-level code.
- preparation of sewage sludge for land treatment resulting in benefits to agriculture or ecological improvement
- preparation of non-hazardous waste for reclamation in excavated areas or for engineering purposes in landscaping
- production of biogas from sewage sludge, see 35.21
- back-filling without related preparation activities (e.g. preparation of non-hazardous waste for engineering purposes in landscaping), see division 42
- Compare with 35.21, 42, 38.21 when the main activity overlaps another code.
- Review the Rev. 2 to Rev. 2.1 mapping type before migrating old records.
- Check national equivalent caveats before using this code for local registration or filing workflows.
- If the main revenue activity appears in an exclusion, compare the alternative code before deciding.

What is NACE 38.23 used for?
Use NACE 38.23 for other waste recovery when the main activity matches this scope: Use this class for other waste recovery when the main activity includes Preparation of sewage sludge for land treatment resulting in benefits to agriculture or ecological improvement and Preparation of non-hazardous waste for reclamation in excavated areas or for engineering purposes in landscaping. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
What are typical examples for 38.23?
Typical examples include Preparation of sewage sludge for land treatment resulting in benefits to agriculture or ecological improvement and Preparation of non-hazardous waste for reclamation in excavated areas or for engineering purposes in landscaping.
When might 38.23 not be the right code?
Review another code when the activity is closer to production of biogas from sewage sludge, see 35.21 and back-filling without related preparation activities (e.g. preparation of non-hazardous waste for engineering purposes in landscaping), see division 42.
Which codes should I compare before choosing 38.23?
Compare 38.23 with 35.21 Manufacture of gas, 42 Civil engineering, and 38.21 Materials recovery when the activity description is ambiguous.
Use this class for manufacture of gas when the main activity includes Production of gaseous fuels for energy supply through a gas distribution network (e.g. by carbonation of coal, gasification of lignite, electrolysis or methanisation) and Production of gaseous fuels for energy supply with a specified calorific value, by purification, blending and other processes from gases of various types, including natural gas or hydrogen. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this division for civil engineering when the main activity includes Further included is the construction of heavy constructions (for example, motorways, roads, power plants, bridges, tunnels, railways, airfields, harbours and other water projects, irrigation systems, sewerage systems, industrial facilities, pipelines and electric lines, outdoor sports facilities). This work can be carried out on own account or on a fee or contract basis. Portions of the work and sometimes even the whole practical work can be subcontracted out.. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for materials recovery when the main activity includes Further included is the recovery of materials from waste streams in the form of: (1) separating and sorting recoverable materials from non-hazardous waste streams; or (2) separating and sorting of commingled recoverable materials (for example, paper, plastics, used beverage cans and metals) into distinct categories. and Examples of the mechanical or chemical transformation processes that are undertaken include:. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for energy recovery when the main activity includes Energy recovery. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this group for waste recovery when the main activity includes Materials recovery and Energy recovery. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Rev. 2 code 38.21 can map to more than one Rev. 2.1 class: 38.21 Materials recovery, 38.22 Energy recovery, 38.23 Other waste recovery, 38.31 Incineration without energy recovery, 38.32 Landfilling or permanent storage, 38.33 Other waste disposal.

Datasets, CRM segments, KYC rules, reporting logic, and historical joins may need review because the activity scope is not a simple unchanged carry-over.
Review the official explanatory notes for each target code and confirm whether the business activity still fits the suggested Rev. 2.1 class.
