Scrappy’s buys insulated cables
Electrical cables are generally composed of a metal wire conductor housed within plastic insulation. Recycling insulated cables aids in the recovery of both metal and plastic resources for reuse. The most common metals used for the inner wire include copper and aluminium. When recycled these metals don’t degrade which means they can be recycled indefinitely.
While recycling companies adopt different methods of recycling insulated cables, the basic objective remains the same – separate the copper wire from the rubber/plastic casing and extract the precious metals.
Copper is the most recycled wire material as we use it in items ranging from air conditioning, plumbing and electronics. This is because it is an excellent conductor of electricity and heat.
