HS v2022 Code: 7001
About glass; cullet and other waste and scrap of glass, excluding glass from cathode ray tubes or other activated glass of heading 85.49, glass in the mass
HS code 7001 covers a wide range of glass products, including cullet, waste, and scrap glass. This industry plays a crucial role in the global economy, as glass is a versatile material used in a variety of applications, from construction and packaging to electronics and renewable energy. The recycling and reuse of glass waste and scrap are essential for reducing environmental impact and promoting sustainability.
Production process
The production of glass covered under HS code 7001 typically involves the melting and reforming of recycled glass materials. This process often includes sorting, cleaning, and crushing the glass waste and scrap to prepare it for remelting. The molten glass is then shaped into the desired form, such as sheets, containers, or other products, using various techniques like float glass, blown glass, or pressed glass.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of glass under HS code 7001 include recycled glass, such as 7001 Glass; cullet and other waste and scrap of glass, as well as various mineral raw materials like sand, limestone, and soda ash. Specialized equipment, such as furnaces, molds, and annealing ovens, are also essential for the manufacturing process.
Production outputs
The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 7001 are various types of glass products, including flat glass, container glass, and specialty glass. These outputs may be used as inputs for other industries, such as 7003 Cast glass and rolled glass, in sheets or profiles, whether or not having an absorbent, reflecting or non-reflecting layer, but not otherwise worked, 7004 Drawn glass and blown glass, in sheets, whether or not having an absorbent, reflecting or non-reflecting layer, but not otherwise worked, and 7005 Float glass and surface ground or polished glass, in sheets, whether or not having an absorbent, reflecting or non-reflecting layer, but not otherwise worked.
