HS v2017 Code: 854810

About waste and scrap of primary cells, primary batteries and electric accumulators; spent primary cells, spent primary batteries and spent electric accumulators

hs code 854810 covers the waste and scrap of primary cells, primary batteries, and electric accumulators, as well as spent primary cells, spent primary batteries, and spent electric accumulators. This industry plays a crucial role in the recycling and proper disposal of these essential components, which are widely used in various electronic devices and energy storage systems. By managing the waste and scrap from these products, the industry contributes to the sustainability of the broader electronics and energy sectors.

Production process

The main production techniques in this industry involve the collection, sorting, and processing of the waste and scrap materials. This typically includes the disassembly of the products, the separation of the different components (such as metals, plastics, and chemicals), and the subsequent recycling or safe disposal of these materials. Advanced technologies, such as hydrometallurgical and pyrometallurgical processes, are often employed to recover valuable materials from the waste and scrap.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for this industry are the waste and scrap of primary cells, primary batteries, and electric accumulators, as well as spent primary cells, spent primary batteries, and spent electric accumulators. These materials are typically collected from various sources, including households, businesses, and industrial facilities. Additionally, the industry requires specialized equipment and machinery for the disassembly, sorting, and processing of the waste and scrap.

Production outputs

The main outputs of this industry are the recovered materials, such as metals, plastics, and chemicals, which can be reused or recycled in the production of new products. These outputs may be consumed by various industries, including 854810 Waste and scrap of primary cells, primary batteries and electric accumulators; spent primary cells, spent primary batteries and spent electric accumulators, 854810 Manufacture of batteries and accumulators, and 854810 Manufacture of electrical equipment.
