CPC v2.1 Code: 3925

About waste, parings and scrap of rubber (except hard rubber) and powders and granules obtained therefrom

cpc code 3925 encompasses the recycling and repurposing of rubber waste, parings, and scrap. This industry plays a crucial role in the circular economy, as it transforms discarded rubber materials into valuable resources that can be reused in various manufacturing processes. By diverting rubber waste from landfills and incinerators, this industry contributes to environmental sustainability and the efficient utilization of natural resources.

Production process

The main production techniques in this industry involve the collection, sorting, and processing of rubber waste. Rubber scrap is typically shredded, granulated, or powdered to create smaller, more manageable particles. These particles can then be further processed through techniques such as devulcanization, which breaks down the chemical bonds in the rubber, allowing it to be reused in new products.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for this industry are waste, parings, and scrap of rubber (excluding hard rubber). This includes a wide range of rubber materials, such as tires, hoses, belts, and other rubber-based products that have reached the end of their useful life. In addition to the raw rubber materials, the industry also requires specialized machinery and equipment for the collection, sorting, and processing of the rubber waste.

Production outputs

The main outputs of this industry are powders and granules obtained from the processing of rubber waste. These materials can be used as inputs for the production of 3926 Rubber tyres, interchangeable tyre treads, tyre flaps, and inner tubes for wheels of all kinds, 3929 Rubber products, n.e.c., and 2013 Plastics in primary forms. By repurposing rubber waste, this industry contributes to the sustainability of the broader rubber and plastics manufacturing sectors.
