There is increasing interest in the concept of revealing unidentified copper tonnage available for use. This is material that is End of Life (EoL), not landfilled or recycled. The single largest identifiable contributor of available EoL copper material left in place, stockpiled or abandoned is thought to be electrical copper. Products in electrical copper such as left in place power cables, telecommunications wire and machinery/vehicles.
In a recent study, MM Markets identified both copper and aluminium tonnage potentially available in future. The study findings point to, amongst other things, increasing recycling in select available applications. This in order to increase material tonnage available for new uses.
