About other wastes and scraps
cpc code 399, 'Other wastes and scraps', encompasses a diverse range of materials that are no longer useful in their original form and are instead repurposed or recycled. This industry plays a vital role in the circular economy, diverting waste from landfills and providing valuable raw materials for various manufacturing processes. The efficient management and processing of these waste streams contribute to sustainable resource utilization and environmental conservation.
Production process
The production techniques involved in the 'Other wastes and scraps' industry typically involve collection, sorting, and processing of the waste materials. This may include mechanical separation, chemical treatment, or thermal processing, depending on the specific type of waste. The goal is to extract the maximum value from the waste stream by recovering and preparing the materials for reuse or recycling.
Production inputs
The main inputs for the 'Other wastes and scraps' industry are the waste materials themselves, which can include a wide range of items such as 391 Waste and scrap of paper or paperboard, 392 Waste and scrap of plastics, 393 Waste and scrap of rubber, and various other discarded or surplus materials. Additionally, the industry may require specialized equipment, machinery, and energy sources to facilitate the collection, sorting, and processing of these waste streams.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the 'Other wastes and scraps' industry are the processed materials that can be reused or recycled as raw materials for other industries. These may include 391 Waste and scrap of paper or paperboard, 392 Waste and scrap of plastics, 393 Waste and scrap of rubber, and other recovered materials. These outputs are then consumed by various manufacturing sectors, such as 171 Manufacture of pulp, paper and paperboard, 222 Manufacture of plastics products, and 221 Manufacture of rubber products, among others, contributing to the circular flow of resources.
