CPC v2.1 Code: 4160

About other non-ferrous metals and articles thereof (including waste and scrap of some metals); cermets and articles thereof

cpc code 4160 encompasses a diverse range of non-ferrous metals and their associated products, including waste and scrap. This industry plays a crucial role in the global economy, providing essential raw materials for a wide array of industries, from construction and transportation to electronics and renewable energy. The efficient management and recycling of these non-ferrous metals are vital for sustainable development and the circular economy.

Production process

The production of non-ferrous metals and articles covered under cpc code 4160 typically involves a combination of mining, smelting, refining, and fabrication processes. Mining operations extract the raw ores, which are then smelted to separate the desired metals. Refining techniques, such as electrolysis or chemical processing, further purify the metals, while fabrication processes shape the refined metals into various products, including sheets, bars, and specialized components.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the industries under cpc code 4160 include a variety of non-ferrous metal ores, such as 1310 Copper ores and concentrates, 1320 Nickel ores and concentrates, and 1340 Precious metal ores and concentrates. Additionally, these industries rely on specialized machinery and equipment for mining, smelting, and fabrication, as well as energy sources, such as electricity and fuel, to power the production processes.

Production outputs

The industries covered under cpc code 4160 produce a wide range of non-ferrous metal products, including ingots, bars, sheets, and specialized components. These outputs are then consumed by various other industries, such as 4210 Structural metal products, 4220 Tanks, reservoirs, and containers of metal, and 4290 Other fabricated metal products, which use these materials in the manufacture of their own products.
