What Is Copper Recycling?
Copper recycling is the process of reprocessing scrap copper so that it can be reused to make new products. This reduces the energy and resources needed to mine new copper resources and also reduces our environmental impact.
How Does the Copper Recycling Process Work?
We provide copper recycling services in our state-of-the-art Dallas-Fort Worth recycling facility. We collect copper scraps and pieces from residential, industrial, and commercial clients and then recycle them in our plant so that they can be reused. The copper recycling process includes:
- Collection – We collect copper scrap and other items like pipes, fixtures, and decorations from clients worldwide.
- Sorting and Cleaning – The copper pieces and scraps are then sorted based on copper content and purity. Copper wire is separated from plastic or rubber insulation, and copper parts are removed from other items. The copper is then chemically cleaned to remove contaminants and dirt.
- Melting and Refining – We then place the copper into our furnace, where it is melted. When it reaches a molten liquid state, impurities rise to the surface and are removed.
- Solidification and Recasting – The purified copper is then cast into ingots or rods and solidified.
- Reintegration – The recycled copper is then reintegrated into the manufacturing process, where it can be used to create pipes, wire, and other copper products.
