Waste and scrap; of primary cells, primary batteries and electric accumulators, spent or not, unsorted and not containing lead, cadmium or mercury
HS v2022 Code: 854914
About waste and scrap; of primary cells, primary batteries and electric accumulators, spent or not, unsorted and not containing lead, cadmium or mercury
HS code 854914 covers the trade of waste and scrap from primary cells, primary batteries, and electric accumulators. This industry plays a crucial role in the recycling and proper disposal of these electronic components, which are essential for powering a wide range of devices in our modern, technology-driven world. By recovering and repurposing the materials from these spent or unsorted items, this industry contributes to the circular economy and helps reduce the environmental impact of electronic waste.
Production process
The main production techniques in this industry involve the collection, sorting, and processing of the waste and scrap materials. Specialized facilities use a combination of manual and automated processes to disassemble the electronic components, separate the different materials (such as metals, plastics, and chemicals), and prepare them for further recycling or safe disposal. This ensures that the valuable resources within these items are recovered and reused, while also preventing the release of potentially harmful substances into the environment.
Production inputs
The primary inputs for this industry are the waste and scrap materials from primary cells, primary batteries, and electric accumulators. These items are typically collected from various sources, such as households, businesses, and recycling centers. Additionally, the industry requires specialized equipment and machinery for the disassembly, sorting, and processing of the electronic components, as well as skilled labor to operate these systems effectively.
Production outputs
The main outputs of this industry are the recovered materials, such as metals, plastics, and chemicals, which can be sold to other industries for reuse or further processing. For example, the recovered metals may be used in the production of 720421 Ferrous waste and scrap; of stainless steel, 760200 Aluminum waste and scrap, or 854810 Waste and scrap of primary cells, primary batteries and electric accumulators; spent. The proper disposal of any hazardous materials, such as lead, cadmium, or mercury, is also an important output of this industry.
