| Official inclusions | - - operation of wastewater treatment facilities for reuse (e.g. of agricultural, industrial and road cleaning wastewater or collected rainwater), or for artificial recharge or augmentation of groundwater bodies
- - collection and transport of wastewater from users (e.g. households or industrial units)
- - collection and transport of rainwater by means of sewerage networks, collectors, tanks and other means of transport (e.g. sewage vehicles, etc.)
- - maintenance and cleaning of sewers and drains, including sewer rodding
- - freeze-drying of sewage sludge by wastewater treatment plants
| - - This division includes the collection, pretreatment for recovery or disposal, recovery and disposal of waste materials and its organisation. Collection of waste which solely supports the subsequent recovery or disposal of the collected waste by the same unit is to be regarded as waste recovery or as a disposal activity.
- - local hauling of waste materials and the operation of materials recovery facilities, i.e. facilities that transform waste, including scrap, whether sorted or not, into secondary raw materials
- - activities of units implementing producer responsibility obligations for the management of waste on behalf of the original waste producers. These organisations usually bear the responsibility for the treatment of waste, delegated to them from the original producers of products or packaging.
- - Activities may include the operation of return, collection and recovery systems for used packaging or packaging waste or for the acceptance and treatment of returned or used products.
| - - This group includes waste pretreatment and recovery of both non-hazardous and hazardous waste. Included are materials recovery, energy recovery resulting from thermal treatment of waste and other forms of waste recovery. Treatment prior to recovery of various forms of waste by different means is also included in the group.
| - - This class includes the processing of metal and non-metal waste, including scrap and other articles into secondary raw materials.
- - 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.
- - Examples of the mechanical or chemical transformation processes that are undertaken include:
- - mechanical crushing and shredding of metal waste (e.g. from used cars, washing machines or motorcycles)
- - mechanical reduction of large iron pieces (e.g. railway wagons)
| - - This class includes pretreatment of waste for energy recovery, conversion of waste materials (for example, into usable heat or electricity), through a variety of processes, which include thermal treatment.
- - This class also includes the activities of waste-to-energy plants.
|

- - reprocessing of nuclear fuels, see 20.13
- - remelting of plastics to produce granulates or compounds, see 20.16
