About pulled wool, greasy, including fleece-washed pulled wool; coarse animal hair

cpc code 02942 covers the production and processing of pulled wool, greasy, including fleece-washed pulled wool, as well as coarse animal hair. This industry plays a vital role in the textile and apparel supply chain, providing essential raw materials for the manufacturing of various wool-based products. The global demand for these natural fibers continues to grow, driven by the increasing popularity of sustainable and eco-friendly textiles.

Production process

The production of pulled wool and coarse animal hair involves a series of specialized techniques. The process typically begins with the shearing of sheep or other animals, followed by the sorting and grading of the raw wool. The wool is then subjected to a process called 'pulling', where the fibers are mechanically extracted from the skin. This is often followed by a 'fleece-washing' step to remove any impurities or contaminants. The cleaned and processed wool is then ready for further downstream processing, such as spinning, weaving, or felting.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of pulled wool and coarse animal hair include the live animals (such as sheep, goats, or camels), specialized shearing and processing equipment, and energy sources to power the various production stages. Additionally, water and chemical agents may be used for the cleaning and washing of the raw fibers. The availability and quality of these inputs can significantly impact the overall productivity and efficiency of this industry.
