Description
This U.S. industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in (1) recovering copper and copper alloys from scrap and/or (2) alloying purchased copper. Establishments in this industry make primary forms, such as ingot, wire bar, cake, and slab from copper or copper alloys, such as brass and bronze.
Establishments primarily engaged in-
· Merchant wholesalers sorting and breaking up scrap metal without also smelting or refining-are classified in Industry 423930, Recyclable Material Merchant Wholesalers; · Operating facilities where commingled recyclable materials, such as paper, plastics, used beverage cans, and metals, are sorted into distinct categories without also smelting or refining-are classified in Industry 562920, Materials Recovery Facilities; · Smelting copper ore and/or the primary refining of copper-are classified in U.S. Industry 331411, Primary Smelting and Refining of Copper; · Recovering copper and copper alloys from scrap and rolling, drawing, or extruding shapes-are classified in U.S. Industry 331421, Copper Rolling, Drawing, and Extruding; · Recovering copper and copper alloys from scrap and drawing wire (except mechanical)-are classified in U.S. Industry 331422, Copper Wire (except Mechanical) Drawing; and · Recovering nonferrous metals (except copper, aluminum) from scrap and making primary forms and/or alloying purchased nonferrous metals (except copper and aluminum)-are classified in U.S. Industry 331492, Secondary Smelting, Refining, and Alloying of Nonferrous Metal (except Copper and Aluminum).
