Ferrous waste and scrap
CPC v2.1 Code: 3934
About ferrous waste and scrap
cpc code 3934 covers the industry of ferrous waste and scrap, which plays a crucial role in the global metal recycling ecosystem. This industry is responsible for collecting, processing, and supplying recycled ferrous metals to various manufacturing sectors, contributing to the circular economy and reducing the environmental impact of metal production.
Production process
The main production techniques in the ferrous waste and scrap industry involve the collection, sorting, and processing of ferrous metal waste. This includes activities such as shredding, baling, and melting down scrap metal to produce raw materials for steel and other ferrous metal production.
Production inputs
The key inputs for the ferrous waste and scrap industry include a steady supply of ferrous metal waste, such as old vehicles, construction materials, and industrial byproducts. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment for the collection, sorting, and processing of the scrap metal.
Production outputs
The primary output of the ferrous waste and scrap industry is processed ferrous metal, which is then consumed by 3311 Iron and steel mills and ferroalloy manufacturing and 3312 Steel product manufacturing from purchased steel to produce a wide range of steel and iron products for various industries.
