Recovering value from power, telecommunications, and automotive systems.
Essential components for power distribution and electronics recycling.
Insulated wire scrap consists of electrical wires covered with plastic or rubber insulation, commonly containing valuable metals such as copper or aluminum inside. These wires are widely used in power distribution, telecommunications, electronics, automotive systems, and construction for conducting electricity safely and efficiently.
The recycling of insulated wire scrap is crucial for recovering high-value metals, especially copper, while reducing electronic waste and conserving natural resources. Through proper processing, the insulation is removed, and the metal is reclaimed for reuse in manufacturing.
At BR METALS, we import and supply high-quality insulated wire scrap, helping industries access valuable secondary raw materials while supporting eco-friendly and cost-effective production.

High-grade household or industrial wiring with PVC insulation. Typically yields a high copper recovery rate of 65-70%.
A variety of lower-grade insulated wires including cords and plugs. Copper recovery ranges from 31% to 47% depending on the mix.
Wiring looms from vehicles. Contains copper wire along with plastic connectors and tape. A key source of secondary copper.
Heavy-duty cables from ships and offshore drilling. Often tinned copper with thick rubber or armored insulation for durability.
Thick high-voltage distribution cables. Can be copper or aluminum core with heavy insulation shielding.
Insulated aluminum wires (URD or EC wire). Used in power lines where weight savings are prioritized over conductivity.
