Brewing or distilling dregs and waste

cpc code 39160 covers the industry responsible for processing and repurposing the waste and byproducts generated during brewing and distilling operations. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader beverage manufacturing sector, helping to minimize waste and extract additional value from the production process. By converting these dregs and waste materials into usable products, this industry contributes to the overall efficiency and sustainability of the brewing and distilling supply chain.

The main production techniques used in this industry involve various separation, extraction, and processing methods. Brewers' and distillers' waste is typically collected and then subjected to processes such as filtration, centrifugation, and evaporation to extract valuable components like yeast, proteins, and other organic compounds. These extracted materials can then be further processed, dried, or blended to create a range of useful products.

The primary inputs for this industry are the waste and byproducts generated during the brewing and distilling processes. This includes spent grains, yeast, hops, and other residual materials that remain after the main production of beer, spirits, and other alcoholic beverages. In addition to these raw materials, the industry also requires specialized equipment and machinery for the various separation, processing, and packaging operations.

The main outputs of this industry include animal feed ingredients, such as 23030 Prepared animal feeds for farm animals, as well as various industrial products like 20150 Fertilizers and nitrogen compounds, 20110 Industrial gases, and 20160 Plastics in primary forms. The specific outputs can vary depending on the composition and characteristics of the input materials, as well as the processing methods employed.
