NATO Supply Class 9680 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 96, which is dedicated to Ores, Minerals, and Their Primary Products.

Specifically, NATO Supply Class 9680 pertains to Nonferrous Scrap. Nonferrous scrap refers to any discarded or waste material that does not contain iron as its primary component. This class includes various types of scrap materials made from non-iron metals such as aluminum, copper, lead, zinc, nickel, tin, and other nonferrous alloys.

Nonferrous scrap is often generated as a byproduct of manufacturing processes or as a result of the dismantling or recycling of products made from nonferrous metals. This class encompasses a wide range of nonferrous scrap materials, including but not limited to:

1. Aluminum scrap: This includes various forms of discarded aluminum, such as aluminum cans, extrusions, sheets, wires, and other aluminum-based products.

2. Copper scrap: This category includes different types of copper waste, such as copper wire, pipes, tubing, and other copper-based materials.

3. Lead scrap: This class covers discarded lead materials, including lead-acid batteries, lead pipes, and other lead-based products.

4. Zinc scrap: This includes various forms of waste zinc, such as zinc sheets, zinc-coated steel, and other zinc-based materials.

5. Nickel scrap: This category encompasses discarded nickel-based materials, including nickel alloys, nickel-plated items, and other nickel-containing products.

6. Tin scrap: This class includes waste tin materials, such as tin cans, tin-coated steel, and other tin-based products.

Nonferrous scrap materials are often collected, processed, and recycled to recover valuable metals and reduce the need for primary metal extraction. Recycling nonferrous scrap helps conserve natural resources, reduce energy consumption, and minimize environmental impact.

In summary, NATO Supply Class 9680 for Nonferrous Scrap in NATO Supply Group 96 for Ores, Minerals, and Their Primary Products encompasses various types of discarded nonferrous materials, including aluminum, copper, lead, zinc, nickel, tin, and other nonferrous alloys.
