Landfilling or permanent storage
What this code covers
Use this class for landfilling or permanent storage when the main activity includes Operation of landfills for the disposal of waste and Treatment of organic waste for landfilling or permanent storage. 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.
- 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
- operation of facilities where waste is unloaded for further transport, see 38.1
- operation of facilities where recoverable materials are sorted, see 38.21
- decontamination, cleaning up land, water and toxic material abatement, see 39.00
- Compare with 38.1, 38.21, 39.00 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 38.32 used for?
Use NACE 38.32 for landfilling or permanent storage when the main activity matches this scope: Use this class for landfilling or permanent storage when the main activity includes Operation of landfills for the disposal of waste and Treatment of organic waste for landfilling or permanent storage. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
What are typical examples for 38.32?
Typical examples include Operation of landfills for the disposal of waste, Treatment of organic waste for landfilling or permanent storage, and Disposal of by-products of animal origin in landfills.
When might 38.32 not be the right code?
Review another code when the activity is closer to operation of facilities where waste is unloaded for further transport, see 38.1 and operation of facilities where recoverable materials are sorted, see 38.21.
Which codes should I compare before choosing 38.32?
Compare 38.32 with 38.1 Waste collection, 38.21 Materials recovery, and 39.00 Remediation activities and other waste management service activities when the activity description is ambiguous.
Use this group for waste collection when the main activity includes Collection of non-hazardous waste and Collection of hazardous waste. 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 remediation activities and other waste management service activities when the main activity includes Decontamination of soils and groundwater at the place of pollution, either in situ or ex situ, using, e.g. mechanical, chemical or biological methods and Decontamination of industrial plants or sites, including nuclear plants and sites. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for incineration without energy recovery when the main activity includes Incineration without energy recovery. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this class for other waste disposal when the main activity includes Release of liquid waste to seas/oceans or other water bodies, including seabed insertion and Injection of pumpable discards into wells, salt domes or naturally occurring repositories. Check exclusions and nearby codes before applying it to a mixed activity.
Use this group for waste disposal without recovery when the main activity includes Incineration without energy recovery and Landfilling or permanent storage. 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.
