Clean copper
Bars, offcuts and other homogeneous fractions are assessed for composition, form and foreign materials.
FULL METALSCOPPER AND CABLES
Copper and industrial cable recycling.
Copper quality varies with form, composition and the presence of coatings. Correct separation is the first step towards preserving its value.

Copper is not a single category.
Cables, bars, offcuts, pipes and machining residues may contain very different percentages of copper. Coatings, terminals, other metals and impurities change both batch classification and the recovery route. A precise description prevents unlike materials from being treated as equivalent.
Full Metals assesses industrial copper and cable flows by form, homogeneity, quantity and continuity. The service may include collection from the production site, weighing, fraction separation and delivery to specialist operators, with documentation suited to the applicable requirements.
Industrial cables
Cables and wiring require an assessment of the ratio between metal, insulation, terminals and associated components.
Mixed residues
Where several materials are present, correct separation helps prevent the entire batch from being downgraded.
01
CLASSIFICATION
Form and cleanliness determine the recovery route.
Two batches of the same weight may have very different characteristics. For cables, conductor size, insulation type and terminals matter; for offcuts, homogeneity, oxidation and machining contaminants must be considered. The assessment is based on the actual material rather than a generic description.
- Selected electrical cables and wiring
- Copper bars, pieces and offcuts
- Homogeneous or separable industrial residues
- Fractions requiring composition and impurity checks

INDUSTRIAL MANAGEMENT
Separate collection and continuity.
For companies that regularly produce copper or cable scrap, separation at source simplifies inspection and helps maintain consistent batch quality.
Containers, collections and loading methods are defined around the available space and volumes, keeping the material identifiable and the service aligned with production.
HOW WE WORK
A clear process, from the initial assessment to the final destination.
Description
We identify the material's form, origin and indicative composition.
Inspection
We check insulation, terminals, impurities and homogeneity.
Separation
We keep fractions with different characteristics apart.
Destination
We direct the batch to the most appropriate specialist channel.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Useful information before you contact us.
Do you assess insulated cables?
Yes. Industrial insulated cables can be assessed, provided information is available on type, conductor size, quantity and any terminals or associated materials.
Can copper and brass be placed in the same container?
It is preferable to keep them separate. Separate collection reduces classification errors and allows each alloy to be assessed correctly.
How do I request an initial assessment?
Tell us the material's form, approximate quantity, production frequency and collection location. Full Metals may recommend a site survey where useful.
