For effective use of limited resources, valuable metals are extracted from end of life consumer electronics and reused.
Copper with its high conductivity and flexibility plays a key role in the stable supply of electricity.
Electric wireOur treated rolled copper foil is used inside increasingly slim smartphones.
Smartphones
Copper is used in wire harnesses for connecting in-vehicle electric wiring.
Automobiles
Copper foil with its outstanding conductivity is used in compact, lightweight, and fast-charging lithium-ion batteries.
Electric Vehicles
Copper is chosen also for medical equipment with its complex wiring, finer than human hair.
Medical cables
Excellent heat dissipation is why copper is used in CPU coolers to convey the generated heat effectively to the coolant.
PCs
Copper with its high thermal resistance and durability against wear and abrasion is used in the trolley wires that supply electric power via the pantograph.
Bullet trains Titanium alloy is used in aircraft fuselages, which demand light weight, high strength, and high corrosion resistance.
