Processors Role

A processor is a business registered with SOGHU to process products governed by the Regulation.

Processing means an activity for reuse, recycling, including biological treatment, any other operation whereby residual materials are processed for use as substitutes for raw materials, and energy recovery recognized by the Ministry of the Environment and the Fight against Climate Change, or any other activity authorized by the Ministry of the Environment and the Fight against Climate Change that involves cleaning, decontaminating or declassifying products as hazardous residual materials. Bulking, shredding and bundling are not considered processing activities.
