What is Cable Scrap?
Types of Scrap
Scrap is a term used for items made of metal or materials such as cardboard and plastic that have deteriorated to the point of no longer being usable or have been retired from use. You can visit companies on internet pages to get information about scrap prices. Scrap is a type of waste and must be included in the recycling process. This is where the scrap metal industry comes in. Scraps such as cable scrap collected by scrap dealers are sorted according to their types, stored, and brought back into recycling.
Scrap Prices
Although scrap mostly arises from production, items that have been used by consumers and have completed their service life are also considered scrap. The most valuable type of scrap in the scrap metal industry is copper. Cable scrap is used in many stages of production, and the copper inside the cable is very valuable. Turkey is a country poor in terms of copper reserves. Therefore, copper scrap, i.e., cable scrap, must be included in the recycling loop and its use as raw material must be ensured. In addition, metals such as iron, lead, aluminum, and steel are also processed as valuable scrap. The most important factor determining scrap prices is the type of scrap. As we mentioned above, copper is the most valuable type of scrap. In addition, scraps that can be recycled or recovered and used as raw material are also considered valuable scrap. The unit prices of these scraps are determined according to the market. A bulk price is given for the scrap at a unit price determined by considering the factors that determine the scrap market.
