About non-metal wastes or scraps

cpc code 392 covers the industry of non-metal wastes or scraps. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader economy by providing recycled materials that can be reused in various manufacturing processes. The proper management and processing of non-metal wastes help conserve natural resources, reduce landfill waste, and contribute to a more sustainable and circular economy.

Production process

The main production techniques in this industry involve the collection, sorting, and processing of non-metal wastes. This includes activities such as manual or automated sorting, shredding, melting, and compacting to prepare the materials for further use. Advanced technologies, such as optical sorting and automated separation, are often employed to improve the efficiency and quality of the recycling process.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for this industry are the non-metal wastes and scraps, which can include items such as glass, paper, plastic, and textiles. Additionally, the industry requires specialized equipment and machinery for the various processing and recycling activities. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also necessary to power the production facilities.

Production outputs

The main outputs of this industry are the recycled non-metal materials, which can be used as raw materials or inputs for a variety of other industries. These include 201 Glass and glass products, 221 Paper and paper products, 222 Rubber and plastics products, and 231 Textiles. The recycled materials can be used to manufacture new products, reducing the demand for virgin raw materials and contributing to a more sustainable production cycle.
