About waste of wool or of fine or coarse animal hair, including yarn waste but excluding garnetted stock
HS code 5103 covers a crucial segment of the textile industry, dealing with the management and processing of waste materials derived from wool and other fine or coarse animal hair. This industry plays a vital role in the circular economy, ensuring that valuable resources are not lost and are instead repurposed for various applications. The efficient handling and utilization of these waste streams contribute to the overall sustainability and cost-effectiveness of the textile supply chain.
Production process
The main production techniques involved in the 5103 industry include sorting, cleaning, and processing of the waste materials. Wool and animal hair waste is typically collected from various sources, such as textile manufacturing facilities, garment production, and even household waste. These materials are then sorted by fiber type, color, and quality, ensuring that the final products meet the specific requirements of downstream industries. The sorted waste is then subjected to cleaning and processing, which may involve mechanical or chemical methods to remove impurities and prepare the materials for further use.
Production inputs
The primary inputs for the 5103 industry are the waste materials derived from wool and other fine or coarse animal hair. This includes yarn waste, fabric scraps, and even discarded garments. In addition to the raw materials, the industry also requires specialized machinery and equipment for sorting, cleaning, and processing the waste. Energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, are also necessary for the various production steps.
Production outputs
The main outputs of the 5103 industry are processed wool and animal hair waste materials, which can be used in a variety of applications. These materials may be used as 5105 Wool, fine or coarse animal hair, carded or combed, 5106 Yarn of carded wool, 5107 Yarn of combed wool, or 5110 (Yarn of coarse animal hair or of horsehair (including gimped horsehair yarn), whether or not put up for retail sale). The waste materials can also be used in the production of insulation, upholstery, and other non-woven textile products.
