Efficient Separation of Copper and Insulation for Maximum Value

At Star Recycling, insulated wire undergoes precision processing—using high-powered chopping, shredding, and granulating equipment—to mechanically separate copper conductors from their plastic or rubber insulation. This allows us to deliver exceptionally clean copper and aluminum output with recovery rates reaching 99% in many systems.

By combining mechanical granulation with advanced air and electrostatic separation technologies, we ensure nearly all residual copper is recovered from shredded insulation, resulting in high-purity metal streams and highly efficient recycling throughput. This approach avoids burning or chemicals, reducing contamination while maximizing material value for our customers.
