Copper, being a highly conductive metal, is extensively used in electrical wiring and equipment across various industries. However, much of this copper is encased in insulation, typically made of materials like plastic or rubber, to protect against environmental factors and electrical hazards.

Recycling insulated copper wire helps divert electronic waste from landfills, reducing the environmental hazards associated with improper disposal, such as soil and water contamination from hazardous materials leaching into the environment. It also contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, as recycling copper requires significantly less energy compared to producing it from raw materials.

By investing in efficient recycling technologies and promoting awareness about the importance of recycling electronic waste, we can further enhance the sustainability of our resource management practices.
