無害廢棄物的處理及處置
Why 6 digits?
HSIC subclasses are 6 digits. The first four match the international ISIC class; Hong Kong adds a two-digit local suffix for finer detail, especially across its import and export trade, so a code steps from a 4-digit class straight to a 6-digit subclass. More on the HSIC structure.
This activity involves the treatment and disposal of non-hazardous waste through various methods, including incineration and composting. It encompasses the operation of facilities that manage organic waste to ensure safe and environmentally sound disposal.
This classification includes
- disposal of non-hazardous waste by incineration or similar methods
- operation of compost dumps
- treatment of organic waste for disposal
Licences and approvals
What this activity needs to operate
No sector-specific licence applies to this activity. It can be set up as a standard Hong Kong company without extra regulatory approvals. Premises-based or product-based permits can still apply case by case; Emerhub confirms the exact position during scoping.
Offshore profits claim feasibility
LowThis activity typically requires operations within Hong Kong, such as waste treatment facilities and disposal sites. Contracts are often negotiated with local entities, and services are performed for Hong Kong customers, making it less feasible for offshore tax treatment.
