Metal wastes or scraps
CPC v2.1 Code: 393
About metal wastes or scraps
cpc code 393 covers the industry of metal wastes and scraps. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader economy, as it provides a sustainable source of raw materials for various manufacturing sectors. By recycling and repurposing metal waste, this industry helps to conserve natural resources, reduce energy consumption, and minimize environmental impact.
Production process
The main production techniques in the metal wastes and scraps industry involve the collection, sorting, and processing of discarded metal items. This typically includes the use of specialized equipment such as shredders, balers, and melting furnaces to break down and refine the metal waste into a form that can be easily reused or sold to other industries.
Production inputs
The primary inputs for the metal wastes and scraps industry are the discarded metal items collected from various sources, including construction sites, manufacturing facilities, and consumer waste streams. Additionally, the industry requires machinery and equipment for the collection, sorting, and processing of the metal waste, as well as energy sources such as electricity or fuel to power these operations.
Production outputs
The main outputs of the metal wastes and scraps industry are the refined metal products, which can be sold to other industries for further processing or manufacturing. These refined metals may include 4011 Iron and steel, 4012 Copper, 4013 Aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. The metal waste industry's outputs are essential inputs for industries such as 2511 Manufacture of metal structures and parts of structures, 2512 Manufacture of tanks, reservoirs and containers of metal, and 2513 Manufacture of steam generators, except central heating hot water boilers.
