Copper is essential for electricity, electronics, and construction thanks to its excellent conductivity and malleability. It is used everywhere from power grids to electric vehicles to the famed Statue of Liberty. Umicore uses copper in refining to help recover precious metals and also recycles it from a wide range of industrial and consumer scrap, including electronic waste, wiring, and shredded components from vehicles and household appliances. We also recover copper from spent batteries and battery production scrap.
