Code: 8877. The recycling of electric cables in specially equipped recycling centers avoids clandestine recycling, which is based on burning the PVC sheaths covering the internal copper wire in order to separate them.
This system emits dioxin into the environment which is dangerous both for those who carry out these activities and for the population who breathe the toxic fumes given off by the fires.
Our company uses the mechanical separation system, grinding the cable and subsequently separating the copper from the PVC sheaths.
