01/04/2026 – How circular metals support decarbonization
Sustainable copper for wire applications
Copper is indispensable for wire and cable applications. As companies across the supply chain pursue increasingly ambitious sustainability targets, the demand for 100% recycled, low-carbon copper is rising and has become a strategic lever for materials sourcing. Requirements for environmental protection and CO2 footprint reduction are steadily growing, both among end users and throughout the upstream value chain.

Copper scrap marks the starting point of circular metallurgy, serving as a valuable secondary raw material that enables environmentally friendly copper production while conserving natural resources. © Montanwerke Brixlegg
