Waste and scrap of precious metal
CPC v2.1 Code: 3933
About waste and scrap of precious metal
cpc code 3933 covers the industry of waste and scrap of precious metals. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader economy by facilitating the recycling and reuse of valuable materials that would otherwise be discarded. The recovery and processing of precious metal waste and scrap is an important source of raw materials for various manufacturing sectors, contributing to the sustainability and efficiency of global supply chains.
Production process
The main production techniques used in this industry involve the collection, sorting, and refining of precious metal waste and scrap. This typically includes processes such as smelting, electrolysis, and chemical extraction to separate and purify the valuable metals from impurities and other materials.
Production inputs
The primary inputs required for this industry are the waste and scrap of precious metals, such as gold, silver, platinum, and palladium. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized equipment and machinery for the collection, sorting, and refining of the materials, as well as various chemical reagents and energy sources to power the production processes.
Production outputs
The main outputs of this industry are the refined precious metals, which can then be used as inputs for a wide range of manufacturing and industrial applications, including 3411 Precious metal production, 3412 Non-ferrous metal production, and 3421 Fabricated metal products. The recovered and purified precious metals can be used in the production of jewelry, electronics, catalysts, and other high-value products.
