KBLI 38220 (Treatment dan Pembuangan Limbah Berbahaya
) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for hazardous waste treatment and disposal. It sits within Water Treatment, Wastewater Treatment, Waste Material Treatment and Recovery, and Remediation Activities under the subgroup Treatment and Disposal of Hazardous Waste (major group 38) in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Statistics Indonesia (BPS).
This group includes treatment and disposal businesses managed by both the government and private sectors, such as the disposal and treatment of solid or hazardous non-solid waste as well as specific waste, including explosive materials, oxidizing materials, flammable materials, toxic substances, irritants, carcinogens, corrosive materials, or materials that can cause infection and other substances and preparations that are hazardous to human health and the environment. The activities involve the operation of facilities for the disposal of hazardous waste and specific waste, treatment and disposal of live or dead toxic animals and other contaminated waste, incineration of hazardous waste, treatment, disposal, and storage of radioactive waste, such as treatment and disposal of transitional radioactive waste, including decay during the waste disposal period and packaging, preparation, and other treatment of radioactive waste.
Who needs KBLI 38220?
Any Indonesian or foreign-owned entity that intends to operate in hazardous waste treatment and disposal as a primary or secondary business activity must select this code on its NIB (Business Identification Number). The selected code determines the licensing instruments required, the issuing authority, and the ongoing compliance obligations.
Why does the code matter?
Indonesia's OSS Risk-Based Approach uses the KBLI code to determine three things: (1) whether foreign investment is permitted and at what cap, (2) the risk-based licensing instruments required, and (3) the authority that issues each instrument. Choosing the wrong code can delay or invalidate your license.
