Waste and scrap of other metals
CPC v2.1 Code: 3936
About waste and scrap of other metals
cpc code 3936 covers the industry of processing and trading waste and scrap of metals other than iron, steel, copper, aluminum, lead, zinc, tin, and precious metals. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader economy by providing a sustainable source of raw materials for various manufacturing sectors. The recycling and reuse of these metal wastes not only conserves natural resources but also reduces the environmental impact of metal production.
Production process
The main production techniques in this industry involve the collection, sorting, and processing of metal waste and scrap. Scrap metal is typically collected from various sources, such as construction sites, industrial facilities, and consumer waste. The collected scrap is then sorted by metal type and processed through a series of steps, including shredding, melting, and refining, to extract the usable metal components.
Production inputs
The primary inputs for this industry are the waste and scrap of various metals, including but not limited to 3931 Waste and scrap of iron or steel, 3932 Waste and scrap of copper, 3933 Waste and scrap of aluminum, 3934 Waste and scrap of lead, zinc and tin, and 3935 Waste and scrap of precious metals. Additionally, the industry requires specialized machinery and equipment for the collection, sorting, and processing of the metal scrap.
Production outputs
The main outputs of this industry are the processed and refined metal products, which can be used as raw materials for a wide range of manufacturing industries, such as 3711 Manufacture of motor vehicles, 3712 (Manufacture of bodies (coachwork) for motor vehicles; manufacture of trailers and semi-trailers), and 3720 Manufacture of parts and accessories for motor vehicles. These recycled metal products help to reduce the demand for virgin raw materials, contributing to a more sustainable and circular economy.
