Waste of wool or of fine or coarse animal hair, including yarn waste but excluding garnetted stock
HS v2017 Code: 5103
About waste of wool or of fine or coarse animal hair, including yarn waste but excluding garnetted stock
HS code 5103 covers a critical component of the textile industry - the waste and byproducts generated during the production of wool and other animal hair fibers. This waste material, which includes yarn scraps, clippings, and other unusable fibers, plays a vital role in the circular economy of the textile sector. By repurposing and recycling these materials, manufacturers can reduce waste, conserve resources, and contribute to the overall sustainability of the industry.
Production process
The main production techniques for processing HS code 5103 materials involve the collection, sorting, and preparation of the waste fibers. This may include mechanical processes like shredding, carding, or combing to separate and clean the fibers. Depending on the intended use, the processed waste may then be blended with virgin fibers, spun into new yarns, or directly incorporated into other textile products.
Production inputs
The primary inputs for HS code 5103 are the waste and byproducts generated during the production of wool, cashmere, mohair, and other animal hair fibers. This can include clippings, yarn scraps, and fibers that are unsuitable for use in finished textile goods. In addition to the raw material inputs, the industry also relies on specialized machinery and equipment for the collection, sorting, and processing of the waste fibers.
Production outputs
The main outputs of HS code 5103 are the reclaimed and repurposed animal hair fibers, which can be used in a variety of textile applications. These materials may be incorporated into 5101 Wool, not carded or combed, 5102 Fine or coarse animal hair, not carded or combed, or 5105 Wool and fine or coarse animal hair, carded or combed, among other related codes, to create new yarn, fabric, and finished products. The recycled fibers can also be used in insulation, upholstery, and other non-woven applications.
