RECYCLING COPPER

Global demand for copper has continued to rise, particularly because of consumption rates in China. Worldwide demand for copper is expected to continue to grow. Because the need for copper is so great, and the resources so limited, copper recycling is a vital part of maintaining the world’s supply.

Recycling copper conserves resources and the process used to turn old copper scrap into new wire, tubing, nodules, flashing and other forms uses process uses far less energy than mining. Copper scrap, like other non-ferrous metals, can be used as a raw material to make new copper over and over again. If you have any questions about recycling copper, or if you are looking for a professional partner to help you buy or sell scrap copper, please give one of the scrap metal experts at Valley Metal Services a call.
