About animal products not elsewhere specified or included; dead animals of chapter 1 or 3, unfit for human consumption

HS code 0511 covers a diverse range of animal-derived products that are not classified elsewhere. This industry plays a vital role in the broader agricultural and manufacturing sectors, providing essential inputs for various downstream applications. From rendering animal by-products to processing animal waste, the 0511 industry contributes to the efficient and sustainable utilization of animal resources, reducing waste and supporting the circular economy.

Production process

The main production techniques in the 0511 industry involve the collection, sorting, and processing of animal products and by-products. This can include the rendering of animal carcasses, the extraction of animal fats and oils, and the processing of animal waste materials. Advanced techniques, such as chemical extraction and separation, are often employed to refine and purify the various outputs from this industry.

Production inputs

The key inputs for the 0511 industry include raw animal materials, such as carcasses, bones, blood, and other animal waste products. Specialized equipment, such as rendering plants, centrifuges, and chemical processing units, are also essential for the efficient transformation of these inputs into usable outputs. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, transportation infrastructure, and regulatory compliance to ensure the safe and responsible handling of these materials.

Production outputs

The 0511 industry produces a wide range of outputs, including animal fats, oils, and proteins, which are used in the production of 1504 Animal fats, oils and greases, 2301 Flours, meals and pellets, of meat or meat offal, of fish or of crustaceans, molluscs or other aquatic invertebrates, unfit for human consumption; greaves, and 3101 Animal or vegetable fertilizers. These outputs are then consumed by various industries, such as the food, cosmetics, and agricultural sectors, contributing to the overall efficiency and sustainability of the supply chain.
