WATER SUPPLY; SEWERAGE, WASTE MANAGEMENT AND REMEDIATION ACTIVITIES
What this code covers
Use this section for wATER SUPPLY; SEWERAGE, WASTE MANAGEMENT AND REMEDIATION ACTIVITIES when the main activity includes The output of the waste or sewage treatment process can either be disposed of or become an input into other production processes. Secondary raw materials are materials and products which can be used as raw materials by simple reuse, or via recycling and recovery of waste. Activities of water supply are also grouped in this section, since they are often carried out in connection with, or by units also engaged in, the treatment of sewage. and The activities also include remediation of contaminated buildings and sites, soil, surface and groundwater (for example, oceans, mangroves, seas), and so on.. 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.
This is a top-level section with no parent code.
- This section includes activities related to the management, collection, pretreatment, recovery and disposal, of various forms of waste (for example, solid or non-solid industrial or household waste) and its organisation.
- The output of the waste or sewage treatment process can either be disposed of or become an input into other production processes. Secondary raw materials are materials and products which can be used as raw materials by simple reuse, or via recycling and recovery of waste. Activities of water supply are also grouped in this section, since they are often carried out in connection with, or by units also engaged in, the treatment of sewage.
- The activities also include remediation of contaminated buildings and sites, soil, surface and groundwater (for example, oceans, mangroves, seas), and so on.
- Units that usually take over their clients’ waste procedures and become the customer of the waste hauler, and then in turn charge their clients for waste services, are classified in division 38. Even if these units do not render the corresponding services themselves, they are responsible for their fulfilment. This activity is regarded as the complete outsourcing of a service.
- waste trade activities as agents, see 46.18
- waste trade activities as wholesalers, see 46.87
- Compare with 46.18, 46.87, A when the main activity overlaps another code.
- 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 E used for?
Use NACE E for water supply; sewerage, waste management and remediation activities when the main activity matches this scope: Use this section for wATER SUPPLY; SEWERAGE, WASTE MANAGEMENT AND REMEDIATION ACTIVITIES when the main activity includes The output of the waste or sewage treatment process can either be disposed of or become an input into other production processes. Secondary raw materials are materials and products which can be used as raw materials by simple reuse, or via recycling and recovery of waste. Activities of water supply are also grouped in this section, since they are often carried out in connection with, or by units also engaged in, the treatment of sewage. and The activities also include remediation of contaminated buildings and sites, soil, surface and groundwater (for example, oceans, mangroves, seas), and so on.. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
What are typical examples for E?
Typical examples include The output of the waste or sewage treatment process can either be disposed of or become an input into other production processes. Secondary raw materials are materials and products which can be used as raw materials by simple reuse, or via recycling and recovery of waste. Activities of water supply are also grouped in this section, since they are often carried out in connection with, or by units also engaged in, the treatment of sewage., The activities also include remediation of contaminated buildings and sites, soil, surface and groundwater (for example, oceans, mangroves, seas), and so on., and Units that usually take over their clients’ waste procedures and become the customer of the waste hauler, and then in turn charge their clients for waste services, are classified in division 38. Even if these units do not render the corresponding services themselves, they are responsible for their fulfilment. This activity is regarded as the complete outsourcing of a service..
When might E not be the right code?
Review another code when the activity is closer to waste trade activities as agents, see 46.18 and waste trade activities as wholesalers, see 46.87.
Which codes should I compare before choosing E?
Compare E with 46.18 Activities of agents involved in the wholesale of other particular products, 46.87 Wholesale of waste and scrap, and A AGRICULTURE, FORESTRY AND FISHING when the activity description is ambiguous.
Use this class for activities of agents involved in the wholesale of other particular products when the main activity includes Activities of agents involved in the wholesale of pharmaceutical and medical goods, perfumery and toilet articles, and cleaning materials and Activities of agents involved in the wholesale of games and toys, sports goods, bicycles, books, newspapers, magazines and stationery, musical instruments, watches, clocks and jewellery, and photographic and optical equipment. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for wholesale of waste and scrap when the main activity includes Wholesale of metal and non-metal waste and scrap and materials for recycling, including collecting, sorting, separating, stripping of used goods (e.g. cars in order to obtain reusable parts), packing and repacking, storage and delivery, but without a transformation process. Additionally, the purchased and sold waste has a remaining value and Wholesale of usable goods (metal, plastics), following the dismantling of cars, computers, televisions and other equipment on own account by the unit without further transformation of the goods. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this section for aGRICULTURE, FORESTRY AND FISHING when the main activity includes Crop and animal production, hunting and related service activities and Forestry and logging. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this section for mINING AND QUARRYING when the main activity includes Mining and quarrying include the extraction of minerals occurring naturally as solids (coal and ores), liquids (petroleum) or gases (natural gas). Extraction can be achieved by different methods (for example, underground or surface mining, well operation, seabed mining). and Mining activities are classified into divisions, groups and classes on the basis of the principal mineral produced. Divisions 05 and 06 are concerned with mining and quarrying of fossil fuels (coal, lignite, petroleum, gas); divisions 07 and 08 concern metal ores, various minerals and quarry products.. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this section for mANUFACTURING when the main activity includes The output of a manufacturing process may be finished in the sense that it is ready for use or consumption, or it may be semi-finished in the sense that it is to become an input for further manufacturing. For example, the output of alumina refining is the input used in the primary production of aluminium; primary aluminium is the input to aluminium wire drawing; aluminium wire is the input for the manufacture of fabricated wire products. and Manufacture of specialised components and parts of, and accessories and attachments to machinery and equipment is, as a general rule, classified in the same class as the manufacture of the machinery and equipment for which the parts and accessories are intended. Manufacture of unspecialised components and parts of machinery and equipment (for example, engines, pistons, electric motors, electrical assemblies, valves, gears, roller bearings, is classified in the appropriate class of manufacturing, without regard to the machinery and equipment in which these items may be included..
