SSIC Sub-class 38301 – Recycling of metal waste and scrap

Companies in this sub-class recycle metal waste and scrap. They process it, for example by cutting or pressing, into a form that can become new raw material. They also take apart cars, computers, televisions and other equipment to recover materials.

The work includes the recovery of metals from photographic waste and the sorting of metal waste, such as used aluminium cans. Making new products from scrap metal and selling used parts are classified elsewhere.
