Copper

Recyclable copper comes from construction waste, electrical cables, pipes, electronics and coins. This metal is completely recyclable and maintains its usefulness and properties through multiple recycling cycles.

Copper recycling is key to conserving natural resources and reducing environmental impact.

Copper is recycled by collecting copper waste, sorting it and a series of processes including smelting and refining to remove impurities. Recycled copper is smelted and purified and then molded into new shapes for industrial use.

The products resulting from copper recycling are diverse and include electrical cables and wires, pipes, plumbing fixtures, automotive components, and alloys such as brass and bronze. In addition, its use is common in the manufacture of new electronic products and in architecture.
