Recycling copper saves fifteen percent of the energy used in producing the same amount from copper ore. Recycled copper has exactly the same qualities as copper from ore, so it can be recycled over and over without any loss.
Copper is non renewable, so it is important to conserve it.
Energy saved means fewer greenhouse gas emissions from the fossil fuel saved.
