URBAN MINING
ELCOWIRE OPERATIONS
Elcowire is working with the eco-friendliest mines in the world, together we are finding solutions to minimize the climate impact of our supply chain.
Our lean manufacturing takes in account the use of renewable energy sources, low waste and negligible use of chemicals.
Our contact wires power electrified trucks at the mine, as well as the trains that deliver copper to our production site...
Smelters are powered by electricity from renewable sources, mainly hydro power. Excess heat from smelting process is transferred to the cities´ heating system
... and we make the cables used in electrified vehicles that bring new products to customers, and return old products to the recycling process at the end of their lives. We ensure the loop continues to go around and around.

PRODUCTS FOR CONDUCTING PURPOSES WE ARE DEVELOPING ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES TO PROVIDE OUTSTANDING ENERGY SAVING PRODUCTS WITH MAXIMUM USEFUL LIFE TO ENABLE SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS. ELCOWIRE CAN OFFER STANDARD MATERIALS, LOWCARBON COPPER, RECYCLED COPPER AND CUSTOMIZED SOLUTIONS AIMING TO SUPPORT OUR CUSTOMERS IN MEETING THEIR SPECIFIC TARGETS
TECHNICAL KNOW HOW Elcowire rod is made in our own foundry, and complies with the highest quality requirements. The general manufacturing process is characterised by the process steps of sourcing, charging, melting, casting, rolling, cooling and coiling, followed by quality testing, packaging and transportation. The wire rod is offered in various windings on different pallets, with or without wax, and it is also directly suitable for use in a conforming process.
CUSTOMIZED ALLOYS Combination of Dimensions, Applications and Alloys.
Elcowire has established a world-leading standard of conductor materials for railway applications with its own Copper-Tin alloy Valthermo®.The unique combination of electrical conductivity and wear resistance is guaranteeing optimal results and maximized lifetime in a demanding application area. The pre-material production is done in the wire rod mill in Hettstedt. Together with Valthermo, silver - containing copper alloys - we are forming our portfolio of ETP-copper based alloys for rod diameter of 20 and 22 mm.
LOW-CARBON COPPER Half of the carbon emissions over its production processes, compared to the global average footprint for standard copper.
Low-carbon Copper is made possible through production that has undergone a substantial transformation due to electrification and automation of various stages of the process. The Low-carbon Copper has also been made possible by a very efficient ore concentration process and a world-class green energy mix. The result is copper wire rod that has a low impact on nature and the climate.
In addition, a wide variety of qualities are offered, such as the enamelled quality, or drawing quality for different final wire diameters and we are proud of being a supplier of wire rod according to highest European standards using state-of-theart tools.
The significantly lower CO2 emissions of the Low-carbon Copper are verified through several validation processes.
We use both Grade A cathodes in the charging process and recycled to produce pure ETP and ETP1 copper. The copper is smelted in the shaft furnace and casted into shapes via launders and an electrically heated and/or gas fired furnace system. In the subsequent rolling process, the wire is rolled down to dimensions of 8-22 mm before being cooled in the cooling section.
The product was also validated and reviewed against the general principles in ISO 14064-3 Standard.
QUALITY Today we are a leading supplier in Europe, in the aspect of enamelling, tinning, rolling, fine-wire drawing and conform purposes. We have all the test equipment needed to check fulfillment of the requirements of common wire rod standards like EN 1977, which is established and maintained. Elcowire is also an experienced manufacturer of drawn bare and tinned wire in pure and copper alloys.
The reporting protocol that was used for verification is the Greenhouse Gas Protocol – Product Life Cycle Accounting and Reporting Standard.
Environmental declarations available
Environmental declarations have been developed for Elcowire’s products, including Low-carbon Copper. Our footprint is verified through a mass balance-based self-declaration for Low-carbon Copper Wire Rod and Low-carbon Copper Wire Profiles, as per the framework in ISO 14021. Furthermore, we have Environmental Product Declarations representing the carbon footprint of the total production of Copper and Copper Wire Rod, in accordance with the International EPD System. Elcowire aims to be a sustainability leader in its business, and therefore the carbon footprint is strategically important. For more information, please visit our website; elcowire.com

COMMITMENTS
COPPER ALTERNATIVES OUR SOLUTIONS ARE AN ESSENTIAL COMPONENT IN THE ELECTRICAL AND INFRASTRUCTURE INDUSTRIES. WITH RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND FUTURE GENERATIONS, WE ARE DEVELOPING ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES TO PROVIDE YOU WITH OUTSTANDING ENERGY-SAVING PRODUCTS WITH MAXIMUM CIRCULARITY.
STANDARD COPPER Our copper is responsible sourced to prevent abuses of human rights, avoid contributing to conflicts, as well as safeguarding health and safety of miners in the supply chain. Our cathodes are LME Grade A and in accordance with the standard ASTM B115, or EN 1978.
LOW-CARBON COPPER The Low-carbon Copper has less than half of the CO2 emissions per kg copper compared to standard copper. The reduced CO2 emissions of our Low-carbon Copper have been validated scientifically and will play an important role in the transition, to achieve the goal of net-zero CO2 emission by 2050 set by the EU. The carbon emissions reduction by using Low-carbon Copper is based on using copper mines with electrified production, Elcowire's lean prodution methods, very efficient ore concentration process and a world-class green energy mix. Elcowire sets the example by producing semi-fiished and finished products that have a low impact on nature and climate.
RECYCLED COPPER One of the most significant benefits of copper is its recyclability. Copper is a highly sought-after material in the recycling industry because it can be recycled over and over again without losing its quality or purity. This means that copper can be reused in new products, reducing the need for mining and extraction of new copper ore. Recycling copper also reduces energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions associated with copper production, making it an environmentally friendly choice.Elcowire's waste management and processing of materials are focused on going from linear flows to circular flows, supporting the core of a circular economy.
Metals are extracted with lowest possible impact from suppliers' mines
Mines
End-of-Life materials can be sent back to smelters to be refined in several process steps
Suppliers (smelters) Cathods (raw material) manufacturing
End-of-Life copper can be sent back to Elcowire to be recycled Internal metal scrap is recycled
Elcowire - Wire, rod and conductor material manufacturing
Process scrap from customers can be recycled at Elcowire
Customers - Cable and other copper based soluctions manufacturing
End-of-Life - At the material end-of-life there are several possibilities for the material to get a new life
Elcowire's circularity process enables our customers to reduce their CO2 emissions.

SUBSEA CABLES DOGGER BANK
Wire rod can be further processed into drawn and stranded wires, or extruded into rectangular wires and profiles. The main external customers for Business Unit Rod are large cable producers, and the demand for rod products reflects the strong market needs from the ongoing electrification in society and in other industrial applications, as well as the large cables needed for infrastructural projects, such as for windpower generation. Dogger Bank, once a land mass uniting Britain with continental Europe, but since the last Ice Age a well-known sandbank this is the stage for an impressive renewable energy project; the world's largest offshore wind farm, which is located between 125 and 290 km off the east coast of Yorkshire and extends over approximately 8.660 km2. Water depths range from 18 to 63 m. Elcowire Low-carbon Copper is used in the high voltage cables at Dogger Bank C that will be powering the equivalent of six million British homes. 26
