Buying out copper
Nord Holding performs activities for buying copper in accordance with the provisions of the Waste Management Law and the Ordinance on the procedure for carrying out commercial activities with ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
Copper is one of the widely used metals from ancient times to the present day, being used as a heat and electricity conductor, as well as a building material and as a part of the composition of various alloys.
When processing copper secondary raw materials, new ones are obtained, which can be used for the production of cathodes, anodes, plates, copper vessels and others.
Nord Holding is your trusted partner when you are looking for a safe, affordable and profitable way to get rid of your metal scrap of copper and any other ferrous or non-ferrous metals.
What types of copper does Nord Holding buy out?
Nord Holding buys out all types of copper scrap, including most common: various types of copper wires, copper pieces, copper turnings and the like.
The main groups of copper scrap that we buy are as follows:
This type of scrap originates mainly from old electrical cables, electronic devices and industrial machinery, as well as from the processes for the production and processing of copper.
Copper wires usually come from dismantled electrical installations and cables that are no longer in use. Copper scraps – from various manufacturing processes where copper is used as a raw material, and copper turnings are usually a by-product of the mechanical processing of copper products, such as turning.
We accept scrap copper in a variety of shapes and sizes, including whole pieces, cuts, turnings and copper vessels.
Copper wires and conductors must be without tinned ends and cable lugs. Unoiled. Mechanically removed insulation, with varnish coating removed. No whole coils. Copper turnings: uncontaminated with metallic and non-metallic attachments (without iron, sand and moisture.)
