About Copper

From the copper pipes of the Egyptian Pharaohs to today’s energy-efficient technology solutions – wherever you look, you are sure to find copper, or a metal produced as a by-product of the copper refining process. In fact, the world uses more than 19 million tonnes of copper every year. As the world’s leading economies continue to urbanise and industrialise, refined copper demand is expected to increase to more than 25 million tonnes by 2020. Around 19 million tonnes of that will be met by mined copper with the remainder being supplied from scrap.

Production Increase

Located in many of the world’s most remote and toughest environments, high-grade copper ore has been, for centuries, one of the world’s most in-demand commodities. Malleable, durable, resistant to corrosion, hygienic and an excellent conductor of heat and electricity, copper is one of our most useful and versatile metals.

 

Today, copper plays an essential role in computers, smartphones, electronics, appliances and construction. But it is also a metal at the forefront of green innovation. Hybrid and electric cars rely on it, as do renewable energy sources such as solar power, wind farms, and thermal and hydro-electricity. From on-demand water heaters to solar panels and smart wiring, copper will be an integral part of the green homes of tomorrow, helping us drive forward into a more energy-efficient future.
