HRS §332D-3

What counts as processing for the recycling law

This section says that the definition of "process" in the recycling law does not include handling metallic recyclables that contain certain flame-retardant chemicals, as long as that handling follows all federal, state, and local laws. So those activities are not covered by the law's definition.
