Titanium; waste and scrap

HS v2022 Code: 810830

About titanium; waste and scrap

HS code 810830 covers titanium waste and scrap, a crucial material in various industries. Titanium is a lightweight, strong, and corrosion-resistant metal that finds widespread applications in aerospace, automotive, medical, and construction sectors. The global titanium waste and scrap market is driven by the growing demand for titanium-based products, as well as the need for sustainable recycling practices to reduce waste and conserve natural resources.

Production process

Titanium waste and scrap are typically generated during the manufacturing process of titanium-based products. This includes offcuts, turnings, and other production residues. The main production techniques involve collecting, sorting, and processing the titanium waste and scrap to prepare it for reuse or recycling. This may include mechanical processing, such as shredding or melting, to separate the titanium from other materials and prepare it for further processing or reuse.

Production inputs

The primary input for the titanium waste and scrap industry is, of course, titanium-containing waste and scrap materials. This can come from a variety of sources, including manufacturing processes, construction and demolition activities, and end-of-life products. In addition, the industry requires specialized equipment and machinery for the collection, sorting, and processing of the titanium waste and scrap.

Production outputs

The main output of the titanium waste and scrap industry is processed titanium material, which can be used as a raw material for the production of new titanium-based products. This processed titanium can be used in a wide range of industries, including 810810 Titanium; unwrought, 810820 Titanium; waste and scrap, and 810830 Titanium; powders. The recycling of titanium waste and scrap helps to reduce the demand for primary titanium production, which can be energy-intensive and resource-intensive.
