COPPER

COPPER

Recycled copper is an extremely valuable metallic raw material obtained from copper waste from various sources. Copper recycling is a vital process that conserves natural ore resources, significantly reduces energy consumption, and diminishes greenhouse gas emissions associated with primary copper production.

INQUIRE

Our Expertise in Copper Recycling

Specialized in the acquisition and sale of copper waste, we serve global markets (Europe, Asia). Solid partnerships ensure a constant flow of quality raw materials, tailored to our clients’ specific needs. We are dedicated to adhering to the highest standards of purity and processing, confirmed by our certifications.

Packaging & Logistics: Copper waste is efficiently managed and delivered by road and sea transport. Packaging is done in: bulk (for large quantities of waste), on pallets (for sorted materials in bales), in metal containers (big box, for cast waste or fragments), Big-Bag sacks (for granules or shredded waste) or bales (for wire and pipes).

Certifications: ISO 9001:2015, SGS, ASTM, ISRI, REACH, RoHS, SR ISO IS-191.

 

Characteristics

Origin: Post-consumer/industrial waste (electrical cables, pipes, plates, wire, electronic components, processing waste).
Processing: Collection, sorting by type and purity, cutting/grinding (for cables), melting, and high-level refining (for high-purity ingots).
Chemical Composition: According to SR ISO IS-191, with min. 99.99% Copper (for high-purity refined copper).
Physical Properties: Density 8.96 g/cm3 , Melting point 1085 °C.
Purity: Our copper materials are constantly verified to ensure a high level of purity and absence of impurities.
Type: Pure copper, Insulated copper (granules).
Form:

  • Ingots/Billets (cast or fragments)

  • Plates/Sheets (pieces of 100×100 mm, up to 1000×1000 mm, or bulk)

  • Copper granules (from cables, approx. 2-5 mm diameter)
    Grades:

  • Copper No. 1 (Bare Bright Copper / Millberry): Clean, uninsulated copper wire, with high purity (min. 99.9% Copper).

  • Copper No. 2 (Berry / Birch): Copper scrap with slightly lower purity (min. 96-97% Copper), may include traces of insulation or minor impurities.

  • Copper Granules: Granular copper obtained from cable recycling, with high purity (min. 97-99% Copper).

Advantages

  • Conservation of mineral resources and the environment.

  • Significant energy savings (up to 85-90%) compared to primary production.

  • Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

  • High economic value and market stability.

  • Infinitely recyclable without loss of physical and chemical properties.

Applications

  • Electrical and electronics industry (cables, wires, transformers, circuit boards).

  • Plumbing and heating installations (pipes, fittings, boilers).

  • Construction (roofing, drainage systems, decorations).

  • Manufacturing of alloys (where applicable, through further processing).

  • Transport (automotive components, braking systems).
