Hazardous Waste Treatment Beyond the Radioactive Line

KBLI 38221 covers nonradioactive hazardous waste treatment and disposal, nationally open to PMA and not blocked by Bali’s moratorium record.

The honest national-versus-Bali reading is clean: this activity is nationally open to PMA at 100%, and the Bali moratorium record supplied here does not close it.
What Changed

KBLI 2020→2025 mapping: matched with aggregation.

What You Need

Nationally, a foreign PMA can be 100% owned for this activity. Bali does not block it under the general moratorium, but it is marked as higher risk, so expect tighter environmental vetting and that your application will be conditional on securing a properly zoned industrial address and specific permits.

Who This Is For

This suits foreign entrepreneurs with established expertise in hazardous waste management, aiming to serve industrial, medical, or government clients who need compliant disposal of dangerous non-radioactive waste.

Common Questions
Can foreigners operate a hazardous waste treatment & disposal (non-radioactive) business in Indonesia?
Yes. KBLI 38221 (Pengolahan dan Pembuangan Limbah atau Sampah Berbahaya Selain Limbah Radioaktif) is TERBUKA — open to 100% foreign ownership via PT PMA. No local Indonesian partner required. (Source: Perpres 10/2021 as amended by Perpres 49/2021 — the investment-list annexes predate KBLI 2025; per-code crosswalk audit in progress.)
What license is required for KBLI 38221?
KBLI 38221 has a Tinggi risk classification. Required license: NIB + Izin. Processing time: 10.
What is KBLI 38221?
KBLI 38221 is the Indonesian business classification code for "Pengolahan dan Pembuangan Limbah atau Sampah Berbahaya Selain Limbah Radioaktif" (Hazardous Waste Treatment & Disposal (Non-Radioactive)). It falls under Section E of KBLI 2025, the Indonesian Standard Industrial Classification updated by BPS (Regulation 7/2025). The June 2026 KBLI 2025 transition window has closed; operators should verify the code's current OSS/NIB treatment before relying on it for licensing, reporting, or amendments.
How did KBLI 38221 change from KBLI 2020 to 2025?
KBLI 38221 was mapped from previous code 38220 (KBLI 2020). Multiple 2020 codes were merged into this single 2025 code. The June 2026 KBLI 2025 transition window has closed. If an NIB still relies on legacy KBLI 2020 mappings, treat the migration as overdue and verify/remediate the OSS record before new license applications, amendments, LKPM, import approvals, or investor/worker sponsorship.
