Leaded copper alloys are central to the EU circular economy

By International Lead Association 5th November, 2020

The ability to efficiently recycle copper is becoming increasingly important. Numerous copper alloys in electrical products for example, use lead to enable better engineering and machineability of the final product. Other metals can be separated easily from copper when using lead, in a process which ensures both the copper and lead are recovered and can be reused, minimising waste and returning value to the product cycle for as long as possible. Lead is a key enabler of the EU’s circular economy.
