Class:: DISPOSAL OF SOLID WASTE; RECLAMATION OF CONTAMINATED SOIL
Subclass:: DISPOSAL OF SOLID WASTE NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR

Description

B09B encompasses disposal methods and systems for solid waste that do not fall within more specific waste treatment classifications. This subclass covers general-purpose waste disposal techniques including landfilling, incineration, and other terminal treatment processes for mixed or unclassified waste streams. It serves as a residual category for waste management inventions that lack a dedicated classification elsewhere in the IPC system, particularly where the waste composition or disposal method does not align with specialized subclasses like B09C (reclamation of contaminated soil) or sector-specific waste handling classes.
