Waste, parings and scrap of plastics

CPC v2.1 Code: 3927

About waste, parings and scrap of plastics

cpc code 3927 covers the industry of waste, parings, and scrap of plastics. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader plastics and recycling sectors, as it provides a valuable source of raw materials for the production of new plastic products. The efficient management and processing of plastic waste is essential for reducing environmental impact and promoting a more sustainable circular economy.

Production process

The main production techniques used in this industry involve the collection, sorting, and processing of plastic waste. This typically includes the separation of different plastic types, the removal of contaminants, and the mechanical or chemical treatment of the waste to produce clean, usable plastic materials. Advanced technologies, such as automated sorting systems and chemical recycling processes, are increasingly being employed to improve the efficiency and quality of plastic waste processing.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for this industry are the waste, parings, and scrap of various plastic materials. This can include a wide range of plastic types, such as 3901 Polymers of ethylene, 3902 Polymers of propylene or of other olefins, and 3903 Polymers of styrene, among others. In addition to the raw plastic waste, the industry also relies on specialized machinery and equipment for the collection, sorting, and processing of the materials.

Production outputs

The main outputs of this industry are the processed and purified plastic materials, which can be used as feedstock for the production of new plastic products. These materials may be sold to manufacturers of 3926 Other articles of plastics and articles of other materials of headings 3901 to 3914, 3915 Waste, parings and scrap, of plastics, or other industries that require recycled plastic as a raw material. The efficient processing and reuse of plastic waste can help to reduce the demand for virgin plastic production, thereby contributing to a more sustainable and circular economy.
