About waste oils; of petroleum or obtained from bituminous minerals, not crude; and preparations n.e.c., weight 70% or preparations of the same, containing polychlorinated biphenyls (pcbs), polychorinated terphenyls (pcts) or polybrominated biphenyls (pbbs)

HS code 271091 covers a range of waste oils and preparations derived from petroleum or bituminous minerals. These materials are not considered crude oil and often contain hazardous substances such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated terphenyls (PCTs), or polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs). The proper handling and disposal of these waste oils is crucial for environmental protection and human health, making this industry an important component of the broader waste management and recycling sector.

Production process

Waste oils covered under HS code 271091 are typically generated as a byproduct of various industrial processes, such as machinery maintenance, vehicle servicing, and the refining of crude oil. These waste oils are then collected, transported, and processed through a series of techniques, including separation, filtration, and in some cases, chemical treatment, to remove contaminants and prepare the materials for safe disposal or recycling.

Production inputs

The main inputs for this industry are the waste oils themselves, which are collected from a variety of industrial and commercial sources. Additionally, the industry requires specialized equipment and facilities for the safe handling, storage, and processing of these hazardous materials. This may include storage tanks, transportation vehicles, and treatment systems designed to remove or neutralize the harmful substances present in the waste oils.

Production outputs

The primary output of this industry is the processed waste oils, which may be disposed of safely or, in some cases, repurposed for other applications. Depending on the specific treatment and purification processes used, the waste oils may be suitable for use as a fuel source or as a feedstock for the production of other petroleum-based products. Other related HS codes that may consume the output of this industry include 271019 Waste Oils; of petroleum or obtained from bituminous minerals, not crude, n.e.c. and 271012 (Waste Oils; of petroleum or obtained from bituminous minerals, not crude, containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated terphenyls (PCTs) or polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs)).
