Recycling in Canada

Canada always throw too much. Since 1950, Canadians have consumed as much as all the generations before us combined. By the age of 6 month, the average Canadian has consumed the same amount of resource as the average person in the developing world consumers in a lifetime. Presently, 80% of municipal and industrial solid waste in Canada is disposed of by land filling with the remainder disposed through recycling, resource recovery and incineration. So they need to pay more attention to recycling.

More than that, Canada is not only forced to do recycling, recycling itself also plays an important role in Canadian economy and environment. Research has shown the recycling industry creates 10 times more employment and revenue than the waste industry. An informal survey by CARI of the Canadian recycling industry concluded it directly employs about 34,000 Canadian workers, and indirectly creates jobs for around 85,000 Canadians. Studies from Europe, the U.S. And Canada all show the same results: the recycling industry generates jobs and boosts the economy. Using recycled material helps manufacturers reduce production costs and make them competitive. The industry drives the innovation of new technologies and products, which brings new energy for economic growth. As for environment, we all have common sense on this.

In order to promote recycling, Canada has been perfecting its recycling system and each province also pushes out various recycling programs according to the local situation. People have easy access to these recycling facilities and recycling center. Take Albert for example. Albert has different organizations combined to promote recycling in different fields. The Alberta Recycling Management Authority is one of them. It is responsible for administering the surcharge that has been added to the price of electronics, paint, and tires sold in the province since 205 and the province’s household hazardous waste disposal program. Another separate management authority, the Beverage Container Management Board is responsible for recycling of beverage containers. And The Recycling Council of Alberta is a registered charity which has promoted recycling in Alberta since 1987. Besides these organizations crossing the province, each municipalities of Alberta has convenient curbside facilities. Most of Alberta’s most populous municipalities have blue box, blue bag, or blue bin recycling container programs. As for recycling machines, they also like to purchase some practical machines like copper cable granulator for their recycling career.

A Must-have in Your Scrap Yard

Wire stripping machine is so common that we even will forget it when we talk about wire&cable recycling machines. But no matter for individual or small scrap yard, owning a wire stripping machine is very useful. Why? Because wire stripping machine can process various kinds of wire and cable with high efficiency and good effect like copper wire, aluminum wire, telephone wire, computer wire, PVC wire, fiber,coaxial cable, electronics wire, etc.

Traditionally, in order to separate insulation from metal core, people use wire stripper manually. Today, however, machines has been created to assist this kind of work to make it more effective and quicker. If you search online, you can find thousands of them. Then how does wire stripping machine work? Which of them have good performance?
The important part of wire stripping machine is its blade. Its working principle is making insulation and metal core separated, thus getting copper or aluminum.The blade can be changed according to the diameter and material of wires. Since the hardness of wire is high and working speed or wire stripping machine is fast, the blade usually adopts high-speed steel or tungsten steel and will pass several strict manufacturing processes like heat treatment over HRC 60°before it is born. So when we check whether it is a good wire stripper machine, the blade is a key point.

There are some well known brands in each country. In US, Bluerock Tools is a reliable designer and retailer of wire stripping machine. Its famous model is WS-212, known for 9 channels of cutters with the UL rated starter switch. In China, Amisy wire stripping machine has been popular for many years.

US Trade in Copper and Copper Alloy Scrap

Copper is in short supply. Trade in copper and copper alloy scrap is thriving because copper can be recycled through copper wire granulator or wire stripper.
Copper has good regenerative properties which make it be recycled again. Copper scrap (copper) refers to the copper mental without service life resulting from early copper consumption and savings, so the history of copper consumption directly affects the future for the amount of copper scrap recycling.
Regions Trade Patterns of the Copper Scrap 
The overall characteristics of the global Copper scrap trade are that exports from the developed countries, to Germany, Japan and other industrial production countries, but in America and Europe as well as some other important features. In America, the United States is one of the important transit countries in copper scrap trade. Canada, Mexico and Chile are the main supplier of copper scrap of America. 

As for export situation in 2006, for example, more than half of the copper scrap in these countries are exported to the United States. As the world's biggest exporter of copper scrap, a large share of US Imported from these three countries copper scrap is to export to other countries. 

Germany and Belgium are the main destination for copper scrap export to other European countries. On the one hand, the industrial production of the two countries need a lot of copper scrap, on the other hand, the two countries exports to other countries such as China a large number of copper scrap.

In addition, copper scrap recyclingis affected by many factors, especially the absolute level of copper price. High copper prices can greatly improve the enthusiasm of social copper scrap recycling and can improve the overall recovery of copper scrap to a certain extent. And as the whole society's attention to the economic sustainable development, the recycle of resources is paid attention to the government and the social from all walks of life, all which can help improve the recovery rate of copper scrap and our scrap of copper scrap on the whole.
