Number 1 & Number 2 Copper are graded scrap copper categories commonly used in the nonferrous recycling industry. Number 1 Copper is clean, unalloyed, and bright, while Number 2 Copper may include slightly oxidized or lightly contaminated material. Both grades are valuable feedstock for secondary smelting. Bright Metals supplies Number 1 & Number 2 Copper sorted to industry standards, supporting efficient recycling and high recovery rates.
Bright Metals sources Number 1 & Number 2 Copper from industrial, electrical, and manufacturing operations. Materials are inspected, sorted, and prepared for optimal smelting performance while maintaining traceability and compliance.
