The recycling process

The process of recycling electric cables involves several steps:

Sorting

The cables are sorted based on their type and composition.

Shredding

The cables are shredded into smaller pieces to separate the different materials.

Separation

The copper, aluminum, and plastic components are separated using magnetic and mechanical processes.

Processing

The separated materials are processed further to extract pure metals and plastics.

Recycling

The recovered materials are recycled into new products.
