Recycling of Copper Scrap
Accelerate a circular society
Copper is said to be the first metal encountered by humans. It
is used in various fields including electrical cables, household
appliances, automobiles, smartphones, and money, and it supports
our modern life.
With more social demand for carbon neutrality and electric
vehicles, demand for copper is expected to increase. Copper is
becoming something indispensable in solving environmental issues
and in the development of society.
We have established a
collection network for copper scrap, and we return the copper
scrap to material manufacturers around the world through our
global network. We are among the top in the world for the volume
handled, and we are contributing to the global environment,
economic development, and to building systems of a circular
society.

Demand for copper is ever increasing, and the competition to
get raw copper materials is intensifying.
At the same time, scraps and wastes that include copper
can become a cause of environmental pollution if they are not
processed and sorted properly.
We contribute to
achieving a sustainable society by operating bases for raw
material collection and sorting processing, in Japan and other
countries, so that we can secure copper raw materials, process
and sort them properly, and supply them to the cycle for
rebirth in material recycling.
