Its use, from automotive parts to other home appliances, is found in almost all applications. Opting to recycle ICW ensures effective use of resources and will also contribute towards reducing environmental pollution.
We have recycling technology of world-class standards to ensure effective processing and a high rate of copper recovery from ICW. This makes us enable to process and recycle a very large range of cable size and type, thus giving us the flexibility to recycle most of the ICW scrap efficiently.
Why ICW Recycling Matters?
ICW recycling is crucial due to the high value of copper and the environmental benefits of recycling. Insulated copper wires, found in electrical cables, automotive parts, and various household appliances, contain valuable copper. Such copper wires are of value and can be reused by recycling, hence avoiding the need for fresh mining of copper and natural resource conservation.
ICW refers to different kinds of copper wires, covered with insulation, mainly for electrical applications. This includes common types such as ROMEX® used in homes and commercial buildings, and others like CAT5/6 important for computer networks and communication wires. The copper content in these wires makes them highly valuable for recycling.
Our ICW Recycling Process
Collection and Sorting : We collect a huge range of ICW, including ROMEX®, CAT5/6, and many other categories of insulated copper cables. Every kind is sorted to perfection against the rates of copper recovery and insulation type.
- Chopping and Separation: We use modern chopping machines and advanced technologies in separating copper from its insulation with a lot of precision. We ensure that high-quality copper is recovered to the maximum while being careful about the environment.
- Refining and Repurposing: The extracted copper is refined and then remelted so that it can be repurposed in the form of new copper-made items, closing the loop of recycling copper toward a sustainable future.

FAQs
ICW recycling is the practice that recovers copper from insulated copper wires, mostly in use for applications such as home appliances, electrical systems, or automotive components, among many others. Insulation is stripped off to ensure that there is a chance for the copper to be recycled, remade, and used in various forms of production.
Recycling ICW helps in saving natural resources, reducing energy, and slashing greenhouse gas emissions. This results in avoiding the streaming of valuable materials to landfills, hence contributing to environmental sustainability.
The process begins with sorting and grading the ICW to separate it by quality and type. Then, specially designed machines are used to strip off the insulation from the copper. The recovered copper is then melted down and purified to be put to new use in fresh products.
Generally, most of the ICW-type can be recycled, including #1 and #2, which vary in the rate of copper recovery due to the thickness of insulation and the presence of other materials. However, the specific recyclability and value of the wire can vary with condition and copper content.
It is the percentage content of copper in the wire, being 100% copper, and the cleanliness, whether the wire is insulated or some other type of insulation or contaminants, that determine its value in the ICW for recycling. Prices may be based on different criteria.
