Copper Scrap

Copper Scrap is a high-value recyclable metal material widely used across electrical, manufacturing, and industrial sectors. It is obtained from discarded copper-based products such as electrical wiring, cables, motors, transformers, plumbing materials, and industrial components. Due to its excellent conductivity and recyclability, copper scrap plays an essential role in sustainable metal recovery and resource efficiency.

Specifications:

• Material Type: Recyclable copper metal derived from industrial and post-consumer sources
• Color: Reddish-brown, may vary to darker tones depending on oxidation level
• Purity Levels: Available in varying grades, typically ranging from mixed copper content to high-purity forms depending on sorting and processing
• Forms: Includes wire scrap, pipe scrap, sheet scrap, and mixed copper fragments
• Conductivity: High electrical and thermal conductivity retained in processed forms
• Melting Point: Approximately 1085°C, suitable for reprocessing and refining applications
• Recyclability: 100% recyclable without significant loss of performance properties
• Processing Condition: May be insulated, stripped, or bare depending on collection type and grade
• Usage Applications: Electrical industry, alloy production, manufacturing of rods, sheets, and new copper-based components
• Storage Requirement: Should be kept in dry conditions to minimize oxidation and contamination
• Contamination Level: Grades vary based on presence of impurities such as plastic, iron, or other metals

Copper scrap is a critical raw material in the recycling industry, supporting cost-effective production and reducing the need for primary copper extraction. Its value is determined by purity, form, and market demand.
