Copper is a metal that has widespread applications across numerous industries. The features of copper like ductility, superior heat and electrical conductivity, and corrosion resistance make them highly sought-after. 
 

Copper is mainly used in electrical motors, wirings, computer heat sinks, and printed circuit boards. Dealing with copper scrap is one of the main problems that certain industries have to deal with because of using copper.
 

It is irresponsible to throw away scrap copper, like regular waste. The demand for copper is skyrocketing. Recycling is the best way to solve the problem of increasing scrap and the demand for copper.
 

Here are 3 reasons why you should recycle copper.
 

Reduces mining: Copper is an extraordinary metal that does not lose its property even after it is recycled. In fact, in almost all developed countries, importance is given to copper recycling so as to reduce the need for copper mining. As we all know, mining is a task that demands labour in large numbers, significant investment, and fossil fuels. The energy required for recycling copper is much lesser than it is for mining.
 

Reduced land pollution: When electrical equipment containing copper is disposed of irresponsibly, they end up in landfills. It is essential to understand that landfills are quickly piling up with large amounts of toxic waste that are harmful to humans and the environment. Copper can contaminate soil and air. Recycling is the best way to make sure such problems do not occur.
 

Monetary benefits: More than 90 percent of copper is recycled. There are many scrap yards that can give you a good amount for your copper scrap. Depending on the amount and the quality of the scrap, you can earn more money. Apart from helping the environment, you also stand an opportunity to earn passive income by recycling copper.
