Magnesium; waste and scrap

hs code 810420 covers the classification of magnesium waste and scrap. Magnesium is a lightweight, silvery-white metal that is widely used in various industries due to its unique properties, such as high strength-to-weight ratio, good castability, and corrosion resistance. The recycling and proper disposal of magnesium waste and scrap are crucial for the sustainability of the magnesium industry and the broader economy.

Magnesium waste and scrap are typically generated during the production and fabrication of magnesium-based products. The main production techniques involved in this industry include collection, sorting, and processing of the waste and scrap materials. This may involve mechanical separation, melting, and refining processes to recover the usable magnesium content for reuse in new products.

The main inputs required for the magnesium waste and scrap industry include the collection and aggregation of various magnesium-containing waste streams, such as production offcuts, end-of-life products, and other magnesium-rich materials. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized equipment and machinery for the handling, processing, and recycling of the collected waste and scrap.

The primary output of the magnesium waste and scrap industry is the recovered and processed magnesium material, which can be used as a feedstock for the production of new magnesium-based products. These outputs may be consumed by industries such as 810411 Magnesium and articles thereof, 840720 Spark-ignition reciprocating or rotary internal combustion piston engines, and 870323 Motor cars and other motor vehicles principally designed for the transport of persons, including station wagons and racing cars, with spark-ignition internal combustion reciprocating piston engine of a cylinder capacity exceeding 1,500 cc but not exceeding 3,000 cc.
