About shorn wool, greasy, including fleece-washed shorn wool

cpc code 02941 covers the trade and processing of shorn wool, a vital raw material for the textile industry. Wool is a natural, renewable fiber that has been used for centuries to produce a wide range of clothing, furnishings, and other textile products. The global wool industry plays a significant role in the agricultural and manufacturing sectors, contributing to economic growth and employment in many countries around the world.

Production process

The production of shorn wool involves the shearing of sheep, which is typically done once or twice a year. The shorn wool is then sorted, graded, and cleaned to remove any impurities or contaminants. Fleece-washed shorn wool undergoes an additional washing process to remove lanolin and other natural oils, resulting in a cleaner and more refined product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the shorn wool industry include healthy, well-cared-for sheep, shearing equipment, and facilities for sorting, grading, and cleaning the wool. Specialized machinery and equipment may also be used for further processing, such as scouring, carding, and spinning the wool into yarn or other textile products.

Production outputs

The primary output of the shorn wool industry is the wool itself, which is then used as a raw material by various 13111 Yarn spinning mills, 13121 Weaving mills, and 13131 Finishing mills to produce a wide range of textile goods, including clothing, carpets, and upholstery. The wool industry also generates by-products, such as lanolin, which can be used in the production of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and other consumer goods.
