Copper
Copper is a soft, malleable, and ductile metal with very high thermal and electrical conductivity. Recycling of copper and copper alloys is relatively cheap, with small power consumption, and with minimal losses. The recycling of copper and its alloys play a significant role in the economics of production, which has been undertaken since the beginning of copper industry.

Copper ingots
These ingots are also required for manufacturing of rods, tubes, strips, wires etc. The copper ingots manufactured from copper scrap are generally known as commercial quality ingots & do not come under the group of electrolytic copper as these are secondary quality ingots.
Millberry
Shall consist of No.1 bare, uncoated, unalloyed copper wire, not smaller than No. 16 B & S wire gauge. Green copper wire and hydraulically compacted material to be subject to agreement between buyer and seller.
Birch cliff
Shall consist of miscellaneous, unalloyed copper scrap having a nominal 96%copper content (minimum 94%) as determined by electrolytic assay.
HMS
Heavy melting steel (HMS) or heavy melting scrap is a designation for recyclable steel and wrought iron. It is broken up into two major categories: HMS 1 and HMS 2, where HMS 1 does not contain galvanized and blackened steel, whereas HMS 2 does.
Plate & Structure
Shall consist of miscellaneous, unalloyed copper scrap having a nominal 92% copper content (minimum 88%) as determined by electrolytic assay and shall consist of plate copper.
