Classification

See the full K list

Source-specific wastes from 13 named industries, including petroleum refining, wood preservation, pesticide manufacturing and iron and steel production. Each K code names both the industry and the exact process residue.

How K131 is handled

01

K codes apply only to the named industry and the named process residue.

02

Many K wastes have established recovery paths inside their industry (e.g. metals reclamation from refinery and steel residues).

03

Land disposal restrictions (40 CFR Part 268) set treatment standards before disposal.

Where can a K131 stream go?

Recognized recovery routes for this waste family, ranked by typical recovery tier. Which route fits depends on your specific stream — composition, volume and region.

In-process reclamation

Medium recovery

Process residues that still carry recoverable product or feedstock value can be reclaimed — processed to recover a usable material or regenerated for reuse — inside or outside the generating industry.

40 CFR 261.1(c)(4) — reclamation

Fuel blending & energy recovery

Medium recovery

Organic-bearing streams with usable fuel value can be blended and burned for energy recovery in permitted boilers and industrial furnaces instead of being incinerated as pure disposal.

40 CFR Part 266 Subpart H — burning for energy recovery

Treatment to LDR standard, then disposal

Low recovery

Where no recovery route fits the stream, land disposal restriction treatment standards define the required treatment before landfill — the compliance floor, not a recovery outcome.

40 CFR 268.40 — LDR treatment standards

These are the typical routes for the K list. Your stream's actual options depend on its composition and where it sits.
