Copper is considered a non-renewable resource, which makes repurposing it for future use that much more critical. A few fast facts on the state of its modern-day repurposing:
- When recycled, it retains 90 percent of the value of new material
- If copper used in electronics goes into a landfill it can ooze into the soil, causing groundwater pollution
- Wire repurposing helps keep electronics costs manageable
- Recycling this metal is more affordable than mining new materials
