KBLI 39000: Remediation and Management of Hazardous W… · Open to PMA

§ 01

Foreign investment rules

Indonesia's BUPM (Investment Business Fields) regulation places this code into one of five tracks. The track determines whether a foreign investor (PMA) can operate in this activity at all, and under what conditions.

Status · open

Fully open to foreign investment

KBLI 39000 is not on Indonesia's closed, conditional, SME-reserved or partnership-required schedules. A foreign investor may incorporate a PT PMA with up to 100% foreign ownership and operate in this activity directly.

This KBLI is not listed in any restricted, closed, SME-reserved or partnership-required schedule under Pres. Reg. 10/2021 (as amended). A 100% foreign-owned PT PMA may operate in this activity, subject to the licensing requirements shown below. BKPM's default minimum capital is IDR 2.5 billion paid-up with IDR 10 billion+ total investment commitment per KBLI realised over time, but sector regulators (OJK, ESDM, BPOM, Kominfo, etc.) can set higher minimums for specific activities — we confirm the actual figure before incorporation.

§ 03

What is KBLI 39000?

A plain-English explanation of this classification and the businesses it covers.

KBLI 39000 (Aktivitas Remediasi dan Pengelolaan Limbah dan Sampah Lainnya) is the 5-digit Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification code for remediation and management of hazardous waste and other waste activities. It sits within Water Treatment, Wastewater Treatment, Waste Material Treatment and Recovery, and Remediation Activities under the subgroup Remediation and Management of Other Waste and Trash Activities (major group 39) in the official KBLI 2020 taxonomy maintained by Statistics Indonesia (BPS).

This group includes cleaning services and waste management activities by the government and private sector, such as decontamination of soil and groundwater in polluted areas, both in situ and ex situ, using mechanical, chemical, or biological methods; decontamination of sites or industrial plants, including nuclear sites and facilities; decontamination and cleaning of surface water due to pollution, for example, from the accumulation of pollutants or other chemicals; cleaning of oil spills and other pollution on land, surface water, in oceans and seas, including coastal areas; reduction of asbestos, paint, and other toxic materials; other specific pollution control activities; and disinfection services, as well as other similar cleaning services.

Who needs KBLI 39000?

Any Indonesian or foreign-owned entity that intends to operate in remediation and management of hazardous waste and other waste activities 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.

What licenses does KBLI 39000 require?

NIB + Operating Licence (Izin). KBLI 39000 is High risk at Large scale, so the Operating Licence requires substantive sector-regulator approval before the business can operate. Expect a multi-month review with technical submissions.

Which authority issues the KBLI 39000 license?
