Cash in the attic: The UK is hoarding €316 million worth of copper in its old and broken tech
Cikk tartalma röviden
A new study by Material Focus reveals that the UK has £266 million worth of copper in unused or broken tech items, contributing to the looming 'copper gap' in decarbonisation efforts. With 823 million unused tech items in UK homes, including cables that contain significant amounts of copper, recycling these could help meet the UK's copper demand for renewable energy systems. The global copper supply is projected to face shortages, emphasizing the need for increased recycling efforts.
