Copper recycling involves the collection and processing of copper materials, such as wires, pipes, and scrap, to recover this valuable metal. Our facility efficiently recycles copper, reducing waste and conserving energy. By recycling copper, we help decrease the demand for virgin resources and lower environmental impact. Join us in promoting sustainability—recycle your copper responsibly!
Copper is 100% recyclable and retains its original properties no matter how many times it is recycled. This makes it a highly sustainable material. By recycling copper, we avoid the environmental impact of mining and processing virgin copper ore, which can be harmful to ecosystems. Moreover, recycling copper uses 85-90% less energy than producing new copper, making it a cost-effective and eco-friendly choice.
Collection: Copper scrap is collected from various sources, such as old electrical wiring, plumbing pipes, electronics, and industrial waste. Even old coins, cookware, and car parts can contribute to copper recycling.
Sorting: Copper is sorted from other metals and contaminants to ensure that only high-quality copper is processed. This can be done through manual sorting or using machines that detect copper content.
Shredding & Cleaning: The sorted copper is shredded into smaller pieces to make the melting process easier. It's also cleaned to remove impurities such as insulation or coatings that could affect the quality of the recycled copper.
Melting: The clean copper scrap is melted in large furnaces. This process consumes far less energy than extracting copper from ore.
Refining: To improve the purity of the recycled copper, the molten metal undergoes further refining. This process removes any remaining impurities and results in high-quality copper ready for reuse.
Recasting: The refined copper is cast into new forms, such as copper sheets, rods, or wires, which can then be used in manufacturing new products.
