questions & answers
Our Low-carbon Copper and Recycled Copper has less than half of the global average CO2 emissions per kg of copper quoted by the International Copper Association (ICA).
We are offering Low-Carbon Copper & Recycled Copper to customers that value an efficient improvement supporting policies and fulfilling obligations for lowering their CO2 footprint.
The mines and smelters where our copper cathodes are produced achieve a lower CO2 footprint than the industry average due to higher efficiency and level of electrification, in combination with fossil free-energy sources.
The footprint has been calculated in accordance with the GHG Protocol Product Standard and ISO 14064-3 with supp ort from Sphera. It has also been verified to comply with the GHG Protocol and reviewed according to the principles of ISO 14064-3 b y a third party, Intertek.
Our Low-carbon Copper & Recycled Copper cathodes are produced in Sweden and Finland.
When calculating the CO2 footprint, Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions have been included. All categories in the Greenhouse Gas Protocol with a relevant impact on the final carbon footprint from cradle-to-Elcowire gate are included.
