Copper
Copper can be fully recycled and reused over and over again, without losing any of its properties, recycling copper is the most efficient way to reintroduce an essential material into the economic system. By recycling it, we save up to 85% less energy than in primary production and, worldwide, 100 million MWh of electrical energy are saved and the emissions of 40 million tons of CO2 are avoided per year.
At Filmetal S.A we are a link in that recycling chain and as such we assume the responsibility that concerns us by carrying out our task within the environmental regulatory framework. We have made large investments to improve copper recycling processes, we have cable peeling and shredding machines, in this way we avoid burning cable for copper extraction.
