Copper recycling is an important industry for environmental reasons.

Copper has been in use for more than 10,000 years! In modern times, one of the most common uses for copper is wiring, as it is a non-precious, non-ferrous metal that conducts electricity efficiently. It is also one of the most popular metals for recycling, as copper recycling requires less energy than producing it from ore.
