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 v2022 Code: 271091

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 part 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 lubrication, engine oil changes, and the refining of crude oil. These waste oils are then collected, transported, and processed through a series of techniques, which may include filtration, distillation, and 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 sources, including automotive repair shops, industrial facilities, and power plants. Additionally, the industry requires specialized equipment and machinery for the collection, transportation, and processing of the waste oils. Skilled labor, such as technicians and environmental specialists, is also a critical input for ensuring the safe and compliant handling of these hazardous materials.

Production outputs

The primary output of this industry is the processed and purified waste oils, which may be suitable for use as a fuel source or for other industrial applications. However, the presence of hazardous substances in these materials often requires them to be disposed of through specialized waste management channels. Other outputs may include recycled or repurposed materials, such as metals or plastics, that are recovered during the processing of the waste oils. The processed waste oils may be consumed by industries such as 271012 Fuel Oils, n.e.c. or 382569 Other Chemical Products, n.e.c..

Revisions to 271091

Classification codes are adjusted frequently. The code may have been revised or replaced between system versions. The table below shows the history (newest to oldest) of the code 271091. The most recent 1 version of this code (271091) is in the HS v2022 system (this version):
