Wastes or scraps

CPC v2.1 Code: 39

About wastes or scraps

cpc code 39 covers a diverse range of waste and scrap materials that play a crucial role in the circular economy. These materials, which can include everything from metal scraps to used textiles, are essential inputs for various industries, enabling the recycling and reuse of valuable resources. The proper management and processing of these wastes not only contribute to environmental sustainability but also support the broader economic ecosystem by providing raw materials for manufacturing and production processes.

Production process

The processing of wastes and scraps typically involves a range of techniques, depending on the specific material and its intended use. Common methods include sorting, cleaning, shredding, melting, and compacting. These processes help to prepare the materials for reintegration into the manufacturing supply chain, ensuring that they meet the necessary quality and safety standards.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the waste and scrap industry include the raw materials themselves, which can come from a variety of sources, such as 38 Machinery, mechanical appliances, nuclear reactors, boilers; parts thereof, 40 Rubber and articles thereof, and 48 Paper and paperboard; articles of paper pulp, of paper or of paperboard. Additionally, specialized equipment and machinery, such as sorting systems, shredders, and compactors, are essential for the efficient processing and preparation of these materials.

Production outputs

The outputs of the waste and scrap industry are diverse and can be used as inputs for a wide range of other industries. These materials may be 72 Iron and steel, 74 Copper and articles thereof, or 84 Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances; parts thereof, among others. The proper management and processing of these wastes not only contribute to environmental sustainability but also support the broader economic ecosystem by providing raw materials for manufacturing and production processes.
