Copper is one of the most versatile and valuable non-ferrous metals, playing a critical role in our daily lives. From the wires powering your home to the circuits inside your smartphone, copper is everywhere. Yet, the demand for this essential metal continues to grow, straining resources and the environment. By embracing scrap metal recycling, companies and individuals can give copper a new lease on life while supporting a sustainable future. At Blancomet, we specialize in helping people recycle copper and other non-ferrous metals, turning waste into opportunities.
Copper is a finite resource, but its recyclability ensures it never truly goes to waste. Recycling copper saves up to 85% of the energy required for primary production, reducing carbon emissions and conserving natural resources (EPA Recycling Basics). Every ton of recycled copper keeps 40 tons of ore from being mined, preserving landscapes and ecosystems. The environmental benefits alone make recycling copper an essential practice.
At Blancomet, we simplify the recycling process, making it accessible to businesses and individuals. Whether you’re a contractor with leftover wiring or a business upgrading its infrastructure, our team ensures that your copper waste contributes to the circular economy.

Copper’s journey doesn’t end when it’s discarded. Once collected, copper undergoes a straightforward recycling process. First, it’s sorted and cleaned to remove impurities. Next, the metal is melted and purified, often achieving a quality nearly identical to newly mined copper. This recycled material is then shaped into products like wires, pipes, and components for electronics (International Copper Association).
The efficiency of this process makes copper one of the most sustainable metals to recycle. A piece of old wiring today could become part of a cutting-edge gadget tomorrow, demonstrating the beauty of the circular economy (EPA Circular Economy Explained).
Beyond its environmental benefits, scrap metal recycling offers tangible financial rewards. Copper’s high demand and enduring value mean sellers can earn significant returns on recycled materials. Market prices fluctuate, but companies like Blancomet ensure competitive rates for all clients. By recycling, businesses not only support sustainability but also add an extra revenue stream.
