Copper recycling: how is it done?

Copper recycling involves two basic steps: preparing the copper waste and its further processing.

Preparing the copper conductors involves different processes. Depending on the type and quality of the secondary raw material that the copper is extracted from, we may apply methods such as slicing, grinding, sifting, rolling, degreasing and others.

On the other hand, processing waste copper means that the raw material itself is sent to the foundry, melted and then shaped into products such as expanded copper granules, copper pellets or copper blocks which can all then be further used in various ways.
