Waste and scrap; of primary cells, primary batteries and electric accumulators, n.e.c. in item no 8549.1

HS v2022 Code: 854919

About waste and scrap; of primary cells, primary batteries and electric accumulators, n.e.c. in item no 8549.1

HS code 854919 covers the trade of waste and scrap from primary cells, primary batteries, and electric accumulators that are not classified elsewhere. 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 found in these waste products, the 854919 industry contributes to the circular economy and helps reduce the environmental impact of electronic waste.

Production process

The main production techniques involved in the 854919 industry include the collection, sorting, and processing of waste and scrap from primary cells, primary batteries, and electric accumulators. This often involves the use of specialized equipment and facilities to safely handle and dismantle these items, extract the valuable materials, and prepare them for further recycling or disposal.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the 854919 industry include the waste and scrap products themselves, which are collected from various sources such as households, businesses, and recycling centers. Additionally, the industry may require specialized machinery and equipment for the sorting, dismantling, and processing of the waste materials, as well as labor and transportation resources to facilitate the collection and distribution of the products.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the 854919 industry are the recovered materials from the waste and scrap, such as metals, plastics, and other components. These materials can then be sold to 440110 Manufacture of basic chemicals, fertilizers and nitrogen compounds, plastics and synthetic rubber in primary forms or 255100 Manufacture of metal structures and parts of structures for further processing and reuse in the production of new products. The industry also generates waste streams that require proper disposal or treatment to minimize environmental impact.
