| Official inclusions | - - This class includes the disposal and treatment prior to disposal of waste by combustion or thermal treatment without energy recovery.
| - - 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.
| - - This class includes the disposal and treatment prior to disposal of non-hazardous or hazardous waste, whether the waste is solid or not, onto or into land (i.e. underground), or in permanent waste storage facilities or sites.
- - operation of landfills for the disposal of waste
- - treatment of organic waste for landfilling or permanent storage
- - disposal of by-products of animal origin in landfills
- - permanent underground storage of waste in a deep geological cavity (e.g. in salt or potassium mines)
| - - release of liquid waste to seas/oceans or other water bodies, including seabed insertion
- - injection of pumpable discards into wells, salt domes or naturally occurring repositories
| - - This group includes waste disposal of both non-hazardous and hazardous waste. Included are thermal treatment without energy recovery, landfilling, release in bodies of water and permanent storage of waste. Treatment prior to disposal of various forms of waste by different means (for example, the treatment of organic waste with the aim of disposal; the treatment and disposal of toxic live or dead animals and other contaminated waste; the treatment and disposal of transitional radioactive waste from hospitals, etc.) are also included.
- - This group also includes burial or ploughing under of refuse; disposal of used goods to eliminate harmful waste.
