Copper scrap is one of the supply sources in the copper industry. It accounts for a third of total copper consumption in Oman. Scrap is used in either of two ways: it is cast and refined into cathodes or unwrought products, or directly used in the production of copper and alloy semis. In the latter case, production costs are significantly reduced. Thus, copper scrap is mostly cast into unwrought products and sold to upstream buyers (to be converted into cathode) and downstream semis producers. It should be noted that semis producers with fire refining furnaces directly use scrap rather than secondary unwrought copper to produce semis.
