• NWCP receives a copper shipment at their facility.

Each copper shipment is weighed in per box at reception. The gross weight is recorded to ensure transparency and material accountability from dispatch straight to delivery.

• Copper is partitioned into grading categories.

Copper material is separated into appropriate grading categories for value assessment and a per pound value is provided for each distinct grading category. A grading evaluation sheet will be made available to the supplier once complete. Grading is complete within 5 business days of material receipt.

• Electronic payment is initiated upon supplier request.

NWCP will await a payment request and confirmation from the supplier to proceed with a direct wire transfer and electronic payment. Funds are easily deposited directly into the associated business account within 24-48 hours from payment request.

Natural resources are depleted and polluted, and our air quality continues to suffer the consequences of adverse primary copper production. By turning to recycling, we are not only creating a sustainable future but also reducing our carbon footprint and conserving our natural resources.

• Copper mines are coal-powered with fuel-based transportation that contributes to CO2 emissions and freshwater pollution.
• In Chile, the biggest producer of copper in 2019, the copper mining industry was responsible for 16,366 tons of CO2 emissions.
• Recycling copper to power wind and solar thermal plants is one green solution to tackle hazardous emissions, global carbon footprint, and water pollution.

There is so much the world can accomplish by standing with secondary copper production. And at NWCP, we understand that the key to getting that much closer to a better, cleaner tomorrow is copper recycling.
