Raw materials are recoverable substances. There is a huge demand worldwide for metals such as copper. The strong demand for red metal in the global markets has seen prices increase sharply in the last few years.
The economy is reliant on the recycling of materials from discarded equipment. Electrical and electronic waste plays an important part in this because it is one of the fastest-growing waste categories.
Together with its partners, SWICO Recycling recycles more than 56,000 tonnes of material every year.
