Waste (including noils, yarn waste and garnetted stock), of man-made fibres
HS v2022 Code: 5505
About waste (including noils, yarn waste and garnetted stock), of man-made fibres
HS code 5505 covers the waste and byproducts generated during the production of man-made fibres. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader textile and apparel supply chain, as it provides a valuable source of raw materials for the recycling and reuse of these synthetic fibres. The efficient management and processing of this waste stream is essential for maintaining the sustainability and circularity of the man-made fibre industry.
Production process
The main production techniques involved in the 5505 industry include the collection, sorting, and processing of various types of man-made fibre waste. This can include noils (short fibres), yarn waste, and garnetted stock (fibres reclaimed from fabric scraps). The waste is typically cleaned, mechanically broken down, and then processed into a form that can be reintroduced into the manufacturing process, either as a raw material or as a component in new products.
Production inputs
The primary inputs for the 5505 industry are the waste streams generated during the production of man-made fibres, such as polyester, nylon, acrylic, and rayon. These waste materials are sourced from textile manufacturing facilities, garment factories, and other industrial processes. In addition to the raw waste materials, the industry also requires specialized machinery and equipment for the collection, sorting, and processing of the waste.
Production outputs
The main outputs of the 5505 industry are the reclaimed man-made fibres, which can be used as a raw material in the production of new textile products. These recycled fibres may be incorporated into a wide range of products, including 5503 Synthetic staple fibres, not carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning, 5504 Artificial staple fibres, not carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning, and 5506 Synthetic staple fibres, carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning.
