Why Copper Wire Recycling is important for environment?

Copper wire recycling is important for environment as it removes this metal from our landfills or prevents used copper metal from ending up in dumps in the first place.

Electricity brings light to every corner of the world. Similarly, electrical wire covers worldwide. Unsightly scrap copper wire, of which copper is often a major component, can also be important. But with time past and metal breaks down, hazardous chemicals used in the manufacture of copper items can leach to groundwater.

Copper wire recycling saves large amounts of human effort and fuel energy that is spent on mining the ore from which this conductive metal comes from. For example, copper wire scrap is melt down and reformed into a new, appropriate product. This remelting takes only about 15% of the total energy consumed in mining, milling, smelting, and refining copper from ore.
