	The process of recycling copper is roughly the same as is used to extract copper but requires fewer steps. High-purity scrap copper is melted in a furnace and then reduced and cast into billets and ingots, while lower-purity scrap is refined by electroplating in a bath of [[sulfuric acid]].

	'''Scrap copper''' is [[copper]] suitable for recycling. Like aluminium, copper is recyclable without any loss of quality, both from raw state and from manufactured products. In volume, copper is the third most recycled metal after iron and ~~aluminium~~. An estimated 80% of all copper ever mined is still in use today.

'''Scrap copper''' is copper suitable for recycling. Like aluminium, copper is recyclable without any loss of quality, both from raw state and from manufactured products. In volume, copper is the third most recycled metal after iron and aluminium. An estimated 80% of all copper ever mined is still in use today.

The process of recycling copper is roughly the same as is used to extract copper but requires fewer steps. High-purity scrap copper is melted in a furnace and then reduced and cast into billets and ingots, while lower-purity scrap is refined by electroplating in a bath of [[sulfuric acid]].
