Copper scrap
Bare bright copper wire, pure copper, copper granules, rectangular copper wire and new copper clippings from factories and workshops.
- Scrap type
- Bare bright copper wire
- Diameter
- ≥ 1.3 mm (16 AWG or larger)
High-grade bare bright copper wire
Shiny bare copper wire with the insulation fully stripped, 1.3 mm or more in diameter and about 99% pure.
- Scrap type
- Bare bright copper wire
- Diameter
- ≥ 1.3 mm (16 AWG or larger)
Pure copper
Pure copper wire stripped clean of insulation, with a bright surface and no impurities or foreign metals.
- Scrap type
- Stripped copper wire, tinned or coated (Clove)
- Condition
- Plastic insulation stripped
Copper wire nodules
Stripped copper wire, possibly tinned or thinly coated, with a high copper content – graded separately from bright Mill Berry copper.
- Material
- Pure copper or high-conductivity copper
- Cross-section
- Rectangular or square
Rectangular copper wire
Flat copper wire with a rectangular or square cross-section, bare or enameled, recovered from transformers, motors and generators.
- Scrap type
- New scrap, never used
- Origin
- Cutting (clipping) or stamping in production
New copper clippings and stampings
New copper scrap from cutting and stamping in production – clean, uniform and unoxidized.
Copper alloy scrap
70/30, 65/35 and 60/40 brass, copper bar ends and brass turnings from stamping and machining shops.
- Alloy type
- Brass
- 70/30 brass
- About 70% copper (Cu) and 30% zinc (Zn)
Copper alloy (70/30, 65/35)
Brass in thin sheet, label or stamping scrap form, about 70% Cu – 30% Zn or 65% Cu – 35% Zn.
- Composition
- 60% copper (Cu) and 40% zinc (Zn)
- Form
- Sheet, labels or clippings and stampings
Brass
60% Cu – 40% Zn brass in sheet, label or clipping and stamping form, generated in production.
- Material
- Pure copper or high-conductivity copper
- Form
- Head or tail ends of copper bars
Copper bar end scrap
Head and tail ends of copper bars left after production and machining – high-conductivity copper with little oxidation.
- Form
- Filings, chips or curled swarf
- Composition
- Alloy of copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn)
Brass turnings
Brass turnings, chips and curled swarf from turning, milling and drilling – the cleaner, drier and less oily, the higher the value.
Electric cable scrap
Single-core, multi-core, rubber-insulated and low-copper cable from electrical systems.
- Construction
- One copper or aluminium conductor
- Insulation
- PVC, XLPE or other insulating material
Single-core electric cable
Single-core copper or aluminium cable insulated with PVC or XLPE – easy to strip to recover the metal.
- Construction
- Two or more copper or aluminium cores, individually insulated, in a common outer sheath
- Cable types
- Control, power, signal and flexible cables
Multi-core electric cable
Cable with two or more copper or aluminium cores: control, power, signal and flexible cables.
- Conductor
- Copper (sometimes aluminium, depending on the cable)
- Construction
- Many fine copper strands or several cores
Low-copper electric cable
Cable with many fine strands and a thick sheath, yielding less copper than single-core cable – processed by stripping machines or granulators.
- Conductor
- One or more flexible stranded copper cores
- Sheath
- Rubber or a durable synthetic material
Rubber-sheathed electric cable
Flexible copper-core cable with a thick rubber sheath, from welding machines, cranes, generators and site equipment.
Aluminium scrap
Pure aluminium, commercial aluminium, 6063 extrusions and mixed hard aluminium from factories and construction sites.
- Material
- Pure or high-purity aluminium
- Form
- Sheet, bar, wire or cutting scrap
Pure aluminium
High-purity aluminium in sheet, bar, wire or cutting scrap form – unpainted, unplated, with a clean surface.
- Purity
- About 99% Al or higher, depending on the standard
- Properties
- Good corrosion resistance; easy to cut, stamp, bend and machine
Commercially pure aluminium
Commercial-grade aluminium of about 99% Al or higher, from sheet and coil mills and aluminium processors.
- Alloy
- Aluminium 6063 (Al-Mg-Si)
- Form
- Extruded profiles
6063 aluminium extrusions
Aluminium profiles in alloy 6063 (Al-Mg-Si): mill finish, powder-coated or anodized.
- Type
- Cast aluminium or hard aluminium alloy
- Form
- Mechanical parts, machine housings, engine blocks, castings
Mixed hard aluminium
Cast aluminium and hard aluminium alloys from mechanical parts, machine housings, engine blocks and castings.
Stainless steel scrap
Stainless steel scrap in sheets, pipes, bars, turnings and offcuts from factories and machine shops.
Lead scrap
Lead scrap in sheets, pipes, ingots and pieces from factories and construction sites.
Zinc scrap
Zinc scrap in ingots, sheets and pieces from factories and workshops.
