\n MONTREAL (AP) \u2014 In an industrial suburb of Montreal, sheets of copper move along a conveyor belt suspended four stories above the floor of a foundry \u2014 a metals plant \u2014 until they drop into a lava-hot furnace. Next come pieces of discarded copper wire.Out of the furnace comes liquid copper, alight with green fire. It travels to a second furnace and from there, a river of orange copper flows out, to be shaped into copper rods, the raw material for copper wire.This Nexans mill has made copper rod from ore for nearly a century. But now it also makes an increasing amount of it from used copper, with the rods containing some 14% recycled metal. It hopes to get to 20%.\u201cWe say to our customers: Your waste of today, your scrap of today is your energy of tomorrow, so bring back your scrap,\u201d said Nexans CEO Christopher Gu\u00e9rin. <\/p>\n

Across the industry, manufacturers have been reusing and recycling some degree of copper for many years. Now they\u2019re stepping up these efforts as the need for the metal is projected to nearly double by 2035.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s partly due to a move away from fossil fuels to cut planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions. There\u2019s a growing movement to power buildings, vehicles and manufacturing operations with clean electricity, to \u201celectrify everything\u201d \u2014 which uses more copper.<\/p>\n
Building construction, cell phones and data centers account for the other half of the increase in demand. <\/p>\n
Every ton of copper that is recycled means some 200 tons of rock that won\u2019t need to be mined, though the amount depends on how rich the ore is. That\u2019s important because mining can cause erosion, contaminate soil and water, threaten local biodiversity and pollute the air. Copper is an especially good candidate for reuse, because it can be recycled indefinitely without losing its value or performance, Gu\u00e9rin said. Daily, up to 10 trucks drop off bare wire, cable and copper scrap at the Nexans mill. Some comes from customers, some from scrap dealers. The purity must be high if it\u2019s to be used to conduct electricity. One of the world\u2019s largest wire and cable manufacturers, Nexans uses more than 2,600 times the weight of the Statue of Liberty in copper each year.<\/p>\n

People may have a closer connection to this metal and this mill than they realize \u2014 copper connects them to the world, said Daniel Yergin, an expert on energy and vice chairman of the analytics firm S&P Global. \u201cWe depend on electricity for everything now,\u201d he said. \u201cNone of it works without copper.\u201dAluminum is used in electrical wiring too, but it takes a lot of energy to produce. Some aluminum smelters, where machines separate metal from ore, have cut production or closed as electricity prices have increased, adding to the demand for copper. Roughly two-thirds of all the copper produced in the last century is still in use, mostly for electrical grids, home appliances and communications, according to the International Copper Association. When those get past their useful life, they are an enormous stock that can be recycled in the future, the ICA said.<\/p>\n

Colin Williams, program coordinator for the USGS Mineral Resources Program, said companies should recycle more of the copper that is already out there, taking advantage of what is, effectively, the \u201curban mine.\u201d\u201cIt increases the supply available,\u201d he said. “… It reduces the energy and environmental impacts associated with new mining by being able to reuse material we\u2019ve already mined. It\u2019s an important step.\u201d ___The Associated Press\u2019 climate and environmental coverage receives financial support from multiple private foundations.
