Description:
Comment on CPC V. 1.0 code 86932
Request
Recycling is not elsewhere in the classification
Discussion
Australia - Agree. If "metal waste and scrap recycling not on a fee or contract basis" is included elsewhere in the classification then the exclude should point to the correct class.
Decision
CPC V 1.0 code 86932 has now become code CPC V.1.1 code 89320
Change CPC V.1.0 code 86932 to read:
Non-metal waste and scrap recycling services, on a fee or contract basis
This subclass includes:
- processing services of non-metal waste and scrap and of non-metal articles, whether or not used, into secondary raw material. Typical input consists of waste and scrap being sorted or unsorted but always unfit for further direct use in an industrial process, whereas the output is made fit for further processing and is to be considered then as an intermediate good. A process is required, either mechanical or chemical.
Examples are:
- reclaiming of rubber such as used tires to produce secondary raw material
- sorting and pelleting of plastics to produce secondary raw material for tubes, flower pots, pallets and the like
- reclaiming of chemicals from chemical waste
- crushing, cleaning and sorting of glass
- crushing, cleaning and sorting of other waste such as demolition waste to obtain
secondary raw material.
This subclass does not include:
- processing services of non-metal waste and scrap and of non-metal articles, whether or not used, into secondary raw material, on own account.
