Glass in the mass, in balls (except microspheres), rods or tubes, unworked; waste and scrap of glass

CPC v2.1 Code: 37111

About glass in the mass, in balls (except microspheres), rods or tubes, unworked; waste and scrap of glass

cpc code 37111 covers the production and trade of unworked glass in various forms, including balls (except microspheres), rods, and tubes. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader glass and glass products sector, providing essential raw materials for a wide range of downstream industries. The production and processing of these glass products are integral to the manufacturing of various consumer and industrial goods, making this industry a vital component of the global economy.

Production process

The primary production techniques for cpc code 37111 involve the melting and forming of raw glass materials. This typically starts with the procurement of silica sand, limestone, and other mineral additives, which are then heated to high temperatures in specialized furnaces. The molten glass is then shaped into the desired forms, such as balls, rods, or tubes, using various methods like drawing, blowing, or pressing. The unworked glass products are then cooled and inspected before being packaged and distributed to various end-users.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of unworked glass products under cpc code 37111 include silica sand, limestone, soda ash, and other mineral additives. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized furnaces, forming equipment, and annealing ovens to facilitate the melting, shaping, and cooling of the glass. Energy sources, such as natural gas or electricity, are also crucial inputs for the high-temperature processes involved in glass production.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by cpc code 37111 are unworked glass products in the form of balls (except microspheres), rods, and tubes. These glass products are then consumed by a wide range of downstream industries, including 37112 (Glass in the mass, in balls (except microspheres), rods or tubes, worked; waste and scrap of glass), 37120 Glass in sheets, and 37130 Glass in other forms, which further process and incorporate these materials into a variety of consumer and industrial goods.
