CPC v2.1 Code: 39361
About waste and scrap of copper
cpc code 39361 covers the industry of waste and scrap of copper. This industry plays a vital role in the broader economy, as it provides a crucial source of raw materials for the production of new copper products. Copper is a highly valuable and versatile metal, used in a wide range of applications, from electrical wiring and plumbing to industrial machinery and consumer electronics. The recycling and reuse of copper waste and scrap is essential for conserving natural resources and reducing the environmental impact of copper production.
Production process
The main production techniques used in the waste and scrap of copper industry involve the collection, sorting, and processing of copper-containing materials. This typically includes the dismantling of old electrical and electronic equipment, the recovery of copper from construction and demolition waste, and the processing of industrial copper scrap. The copper is then melted down and refined to remove impurities, before being cast into new forms for further use.
Production inputs
The primary inputs required for the waste and scrap of copper industry include the collection and transportation of copper-containing materials, as well as the machinery and equipment needed for sorting, processing, and refining the copper. This may include shredders, smelters, and other specialized equipment. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce to operate the various production processes.
Production outputs
The main output of the waste and scrap of copper industry is refined copper, which can be used as a raw material for the production of a wide range of copper-based products. These may include 39362 Copper and copper alloy bars, rods and profiles, 39363 Copper and copper alloy wire, and 39364 Copper and copper alloy plates, sheets and strip, among others. The recycling of copper waste and scrap is an important source of supply for these downstream industries.
