Our client’s challenge: meeting sustainability goals with recycled copper

One of China’s largest recycled copper manufacturers faced a growing challenge: securing a reliable supply of raw materials.

This was driven by rising demand from consumer electronics companies, who were increasingly using recycled metals in their products.

Marex’s approach: sourcing recycled metals to spec from across the world

Our client had specific pricing, timing, quality and country-of-origin needs. We were able to meet these by sourcing end-of-life copper from our trusted partners around the world.

We also used our risk-management strategies and balance sheet strength to aggregate the demand – and deliver precisely according to the specifications our client needed.

Outcome: sustainable supply chain for consumer electronics

The recycled copper was processed and used in a variety of applications, including mobile phones – supporting our client’s goals and contributing to the circular economy.
