Characteristics

High Purity: Typically with copper content exceeding 99%.

Non-insulated: Free from insulation or coatings, making it easier to recycle.

Small Size: Wire pieces are relatively small and uniform in size.

Sources of Copper Millberry

Manufacturing Processes: Copper Millberry often results from industrial processes that generate clean copper wire offcuts.

Electrical Components: It can be recovered from disassembled electrical components and electronics.

Construction: Sometimes obtained from the demolition of buildings and infrastructure with copper wiring.

Uses of Copper Millberry

Recycling: As a high-value scrap metal, Copper Millberry is easily recycled and melted down to produce new copper products.

Direct Use in Some Applications: Its purity and uninsulated nature make it suitable for direct use in specific manufacturing processes without extensive pre-processing.

Advantages of Copper Millberry

High Value: Commands a premium price in the scrap metal market due to its purity.

Easy Recycling: Requires minimal processing before recycling, reducing energy consumption and costs.

Sustainability: Contributes to circular economy principles by reusing valuable copper resources.
