Manufacture of rubber and plastic products

NACE v2.0 Code: C22

About manufacture of rubber and plastic products

NACE code 22 covers the manufacture of a wide range of rubber and plastic products, which are essential components in numerous industries. This sector plays a crucial role in the global economy, providing vital materials and components for applications ranging from automotive and construction to packaging and consumer goods. The manufacture of rubber and plastic products is a significant contributor to economic growth, innovation, and employment across many countries.

Production process

The production of rubber and plastic products typically involves a combination of extrusion, injection molding, blow molding, and other specialized techniques. These processes transform raw materials, such as natural and synthetic rubbers, thermoplastics, and thermosets, into a diverse array of finished goods. Advanced manufacturing methods, including automation and computer-aided design, have helped to improve efficiency, quality, and product customization within this industry.

Production inputs

The manufacture of rubber and plastic products relies on a variety of raw materials, including natural and synthetic rubber, thermoplastic resins (such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and PVC), and various additives and fillers. In addition to these primary inputs, the industry also requires specialized machinery, molds, and tooling to facilitate the transformation of these materials into finished products. Energy, water, and skilled labor are also essential inputs for the efficient operation of rubber and plastic manufacturing facilities.

Production outputs

The outputs of the rubber and plastic products manufacturing industry are diverse, ranging from tires, hoses, and belts to packaging materials, household items, and medical devices. These products are then consumed by a wide range of other NACE codes, including 29 Manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers, 41 Construction of buildings, 46 Wholesale trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles, and 32 Other manufacturing, among others. The versatility and adaptability of rubber and plastic products make them essential inputs for numerous industries, contributing to the overall competitiveness and growth of the global economy.
