LOW-CARBON COPPER
REDUCTION OF CO2 EMISSIONS BY MORE THAN 50%
FOR A SUSTAINABLE, ELECTRIFIED FUTURE
LOW-CARBON COPPER AVAILABLE IN OUR PRODUCTS
Half of the carbon emissions over its production processes, compared to the global average footprint for standard copper.
Low-carbon copper is made possible through production that has undergone a substantial transformation due to electrification and automation of various stages of the process. The Low-carbon Copper has also been made possible by a very efficient ore concentration process and a world-class green energy mix. The result is copper wire rod that has a low impact on nature and the climate.
The significantly lower CO2 emissions of the Low-carbon Copper are verified through several validation processes. The reporting protocol that was used for verification is the Greenhouse Gas Protocol – Product Life Cycle Accounting and Reporting Standard. The product was also validated and reviewed against the general principles in ISO 14064-3 Standard
