What types of cable and wire can be recycled？

It is possible to recycle all types of cable and wire, including bare copper wire, insulated copper wire, stranded copper wire and copper tubing. This means that, just like in our daily lives, household appliance copper wires, vehicle copper wires and industrial copper cable wires can all be recycled.

We know that all types of cable and wire can be recycled, but different types of cable and wire have different recycling values. Here are the copper contents and recycling values of some types of cable and wire commonly found in our daily life. If you are interested in the types of cable and wire, you can read on.

Household appliance copper wires:

The copper content in household appliance wires varies from 40%-70%. So the costs of scrap wires are different, too. The separation rate to recycle this types of cable and wire would be higher than 99%.

Vehicle copper wires:

The vehicle copper wires include automobile wires, electrical vehicle wires and motorcycle wires. Among them, the automobile copper wires contain most copper(50-60%). In the electrical vehicle wires and motorcycle wires, there are about 30% copper. So the cost of automobile copper wires is highest.

Industrial copper cable wires:

The industrial copper cable wires are usually thicker. But it’s no problem to process by proper type of recycling machine. If most of them are thicker than 30mm, a shredder will be needed to pre-process them before crushing.

When you have an understanding of the various types of cable and wire, this will help you in your copper wire recycling business. Generally speaking, most types of cable and wire can be recycled. But please note that if your copper wires have rubber insulation, you’d better pick them out before recycling. The cable and wire recycling machine in market is more suitable for copper wires with insulated plastic.

Cable and wire recycling machine
