About slag, ash and residues; (not from the manufacture of iron or steel), containing mainly metals or their compounds, n.e.c. in heading no. 2620

HS code 262099 covers a diverse range of slag, ash, and residues that contain primarily metals or their compounds. These materials are generated from various industrial processes, excluding those related to the manufacture of iron or steel. The proper management and utilization of these byproducts are crucial for sustainable industrial practices, as they can serve as valuable raw materials for other industries, reducing waste and promoting a circular economy.

Production process

The production techniques for the materials covered under HS code 262099 vary depending on the specific industrial process that generates them. In general, these materials are collected, processed, and prepared for further use or disposal. This may involve sorting, crushing, smelting, or other treatment methods to extract the valuable metal content or prepare the materials for safe disposal or recycling.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the industries covered under HS code 262099 are the raw materials and industrial processes that generate the slag, ash, and residues. This can include a wide range of manufacturing and extraction activities, such as 260111 Concentrates of iron ores and concentrates thereof, 260112 Unagglomerated iron ores and concentrates, 260120 Manganese ores and concentrates, including ferruginous manganese ores and concentrates with a manganese content of 20% or more, calculated on the dry weight, and various other mining and processing operations.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the industries covered under HS code 262099 are the processed slag, ash, and residues that can be used as raw materials in other industries. These materials may be consumed by 260111 Concentrates of iron ores and concentrates thereof, 260112 Unagglomerated iron ores and concentrates, 260120 Manganese ores and concentrates, including ferruginous manganese ores and concentrates with a manganese content of 20% or more, calculated on the dry weight, or 260300 Copper ores and concentrates for further processing and metal extraction. Additionally, these materials may be used in the production of construction materials, such as cement or aggregates.
