Its superior electrical conductivity makes it ideal for electronics, such as wiring and computer connections; and its ability to heat up and cool down quickly makes it ideal for heat exchange applications such as air conditioners.

The metal is easily recycled, and also used in renewable energy technologies such as solar cells and electric vehicles – so it has a vital role to play in a sustainable future. Copper’s antimicrobial properties also help infection control in hospitals and care environments.

Our copper assets range from mines to smelters, refineries and recycling plants.
