Category: Non-Ferrous Scraps
Description:
Copper wires scrap is a valuable and highly sought-after material in the recycling industry, known for its excellent conductivity and versatility. This scrap type typically consists of insulated or bare copper wires collected from various sources, including electrical systems, construction sites, and electronics. Copper wires scrap is primarily composed of copper, a non-ferrous metal renowned for its electrical and thermal conductivity. The copper content in scrap wires can range from 60% to 100%, depending on the source and insulation type. Insulated copper wire scrap may have varying insulation materials, including plastic, rubber, or other compounds. The insulation must be stripped off to maximize the value of the copper during recycling.
Product Material: 60% to 100% copper
Product Quality: Pure Copper, Clean, High Quality in recycling market
State: Bare copper wires, insulated wires, clean and free from oxidants.
Condition: High copper content above 90% pure, free from damages like corrosion, breaks and kinks.
This type consists of uncoated copper wire, often retrieved from decommissioned electrical systems, machinery, or construction projects. Bare copper wire is highly prized due to its purity and conductivity. This category includes wires coated with insulation materials. Common examples include electrical wiring, appliance cords, and telephone wires. The insulation must be removed before recycling, but the wires still hold significant value due to the copper content.
Larger cables with multiple copper wires bundled together, often used in industrial and commercial applications. These cables may require specialized processing to extract the copper efficiently. The quality of copper wires scrap is determined by the purity of the copper, the condition of the wires, and the effectiveness of the insulation removal. Clean, high-quality copper wires command better prices in the recycling market.
Recycled copper wires are repurposed in various industries, including electrical manufacturing, plumbing, construction, and telecommunications. The high demand for copper in these sectors underscores the importance of recycling copper wires scrap for sustainability and resource conservation. Recycling copper wires scrap significantly reduces the environmental impact associated with mining and refining new copper. It conserves energy, minimizes waste, and decreases greenhouse gas emissions, making it a crucial component of sustainable practices.
