Umicore has been recovering copper at its site in Hoboken for over a 100 years. As an infinitely recyclable metal in high demand, recycling and refining is crucial to copper’s modern-day supply. Umicore recycles copper from a variety of sources, including electronic waste – such as old mobile phones, laptops and other electronic products – as well as from the by-products of refining processes that contain valuable metal deposits.Â
Through the refining process, Umicore Precious Metals Refining brings copper back into the supply chain.
