Water and waste companies in Chile

Section E, water supply; sewerage, waste management and remediation, holds 9,595 Chilean company records as of 2026-08-03, 9,516 of them active. By region, Metropolitana de Santiago leads with 3,016 (31% of the section), followed by Valparaíso (1,028) and Los Lagos (698). The largest divisions are 36 (water collection, treatment and supply, 5,038) and 38 (waste collection, treatment and disposal activities; materials recovery, 3,343); 2 further divisions complete it. That is 0.3% of the Chile registry in this build.

Water utilities, sanitation concessions, waste haulers, recyclers and environmental remediation firms. Division 38 is the bulk of it: collection, landfills, scrap and materials recovery. Buyers are typically equipment, fleet, compliance and ESG-reporting vendors; municipal utilities register as public-sector entities and are flagged in the sector column. In Chile, 100% of these rows carry an ISIC class; size is known for 58%; the registry publishes no website or e-mail; 711 were registered in the 12 months before the extraction. An economic activity is registered for about half of Chilean RUTs, so this section undercounts companies that never registered one with the SII.
