The metal (copper) extracted may be generally brittle and break easily.
It is very hard and very expensive to remove the copper from that ore.
Using copper washers as opposed to using aluminum aren't to much more beneficial except for the fact that copper is more reusable. On the down side copper is more expensive.

It depends on your purpose for the copper. Would you kindly submit another questions indicating the purpose for the copper.
Hydrometallurgy is used for the processing of copper.Example: Leaching of copper oxide ores using a solution containing sulphuric acid. The Copper can then be recovered from solution using solvent extraction and electrowinning.

in the future, there may be no copper ores left so other metals will need to be used, however other metals are more reactive than copper, so will eventually dissolve

=== === By the way I doubt very seriously your using copper pipes your using copper TUBING
The world's main energy source is the Sun. The Sun is not the problem. The problem arises when we use the fossil fuels which the sun has prepared for us. They turn to carbon dioxide which will probably cause catastrophic heating of the earth if we use too much.
The question suffers from a lack of specifics. Do you need to be careful when using copper in what capacity? Handling copper at STP is typically safe.
Our next gazebo will have a copper roof.
Hard copper using silfoss for the joints, copper tubing using flare connections, and screwed black iron pipe. You should hire a Journeyman gas fitter and get a permit for any gas work done as if there is a problem, it won't be covered by your insurance!!!!
