Waste and scrap of zinc

CPC v2.1 Code: 39365

About waste and scrap of zinc

cpc code 39365 covers the industry of waste and scrap of zinc. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader economy by providing a sustainable source of raw materials for various manufacturing processes. Zinc is a versatile metal with a wide range of applications, from galvanizing steel to producing brass and die-cast alloys. The recycling and reuse of zinc waste and scrap help conserve natural resources, reduce energy consumption, and minimize the environmental impact of mining and smelting activities.

Production process

The main production techniques used in the waste and scrap of zinc industry involve the collection, sorting, and processing of zinc-containing materials. This typically includes the collection of zinc-coated steel, brass, and other zinc-bearing alloys from various sources, such as construction sites, automotive junkyards, and industrial facilities. The collected materials are then sorted and processed through a series of mechanical and chemical methods to extract the pure zinc content.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for the waste and scrap of zinc industry include the collection and transportation of zinc-bearing materials, as well as the machinery and equipment necessary for the sorting, processing, and refining of the zinc content. This may include shredders, melting furnaces, and chemical treatment facilities. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce to operate the various processing equipment and ensure the efficient and safe handling of the materials.

Production outputs

The main output of the waste and scrap of zinc industry is refined zinc metal, which can be used as a raw material for a variety of manufacturing processes. The refined zinc may be consumed by industries such as 40100 Steel Manufacturing, 40200 Aluminum Production, and 40300 Copper Production, where it is used for galvanization, alloying, and other applications. The industry also generates secondary products, such as zinc oxide and zinc salts, which can be used in the production of chemicals, pigments, and other specialized products.
