Semiconductors and Waste and recycling

Waste and recycling buys from Semiconductors; waste and recycling depends on semiconductors.

Semiconductors (industry) and Waste and recycling (industry): 2 relationships.

How they are linked

1. Buys from

Physical flow · ₹0.9 per ₹100 · Waste and recycling buys from Semiconductors

Waste and recycling buys goods or services from Semiconductors; counted through every round of supply, ₹0.9 of each ₹100 of its output goes to them (OECD input-output tables, India 2022).

  • ₹0.9 of every ₹100 of Waste and recycling output, all rounds
  • ₹0.4 bought directly
