Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best recycling method for CCA?
The best method depends on the application: whole remelting for internal scrap with controlled composition, thermal separation for high-purity copper and aluminum recovery, and mechanical sorting for cost-effective processing of mixed waste streams.
What is the recycling rate target for CCA products?
Near-term target is 60-70% recycling rate, mid-term 70-80%, and long-term 80-90%. These targets align with circular economy principles and extended producer responsibility requirements.
How to establish a CCA recycling system?
Establish by: setting up internal scrap collection and remelting, partnering with recycling enterprises for end-of-life products, implementing product identification and tracking systems, and developing customer take-back programs.
