Product information

Product name	ETP Copper Wire Rod
Product identification	ETP (Electrolytic Tough Pitch) copper wire rod is a high-purity copper material known for its exceptional electrical conductivity and versatility in industrial applications. Manufactured through a process of electrolytic refining, ETP copper contains a minimum of 99.9% copper with a small oxygen content, which enhances its ability to conduct electricity efficiently. This copper grade is specifically designed for use in electrical applications, where its superior conductivity, corrosion resistance, and malleability make it a preferred choice. ETP copper wire rods are widely utilized in the production of electrical cables, transformers, motors, and other electrical components, ensuring reliable performance and longevity.
Product description	ETP copper wire rods are the backbone of many electrical systems, owing to their unparalleled electrical properties. Their high purity ensures excellent conductivity, making them ideal for producing wires and cables used in power transmission, telecommunications, and various electrical installations. These wire rods can be easily drawn into thinner wires or shaped into custom configurations to meet specific industrial requirements. The material’s durability and resistance to corrosion further enhance its appeal, particularly in environments where long-term performance is critical. From large-scale power distribution networks to intricate wiring systems in electronic devices, ETP copper wire rods provide the essential functionality needed for efficient and reliable electrical infrastructure.
Technical purpose of product	Copper used in drawing for the manufacture of conductors, for the most diverse applications, such as energy, automotive, telecommunications, etc. It has good ductility for drawing, extrusion and lamination processes, depending on the customer's application.
Manufacturing or service provision description	The ETP Copper Wire Rod is made from pure cathode copper sheets which are melted in a Shaft Furnace. After melting, the molten copper is transferred to a Holding Furnace, which maintains the temperature and ensures homogenization of the liquid metal. Next, the molten copper is poured into a Tundish, a vessel designed to regulate the temperature and flow of the molten metal before the casting process. The Casting Wheel then shapes the molten copper into a continuous ingot, which is subsequently cooled, finished, and cut using an Automatic Scissor (Shear). Following the casting and cutting process, the ingots are further prepared using a Knife Process, which smooths the edges and removes any irregularities before they enter the Rolling Mill. During the rolling stage, the copper is shaped and its thickness reduced. Once rolling is complete, the copper rods undergo Pickling (to remove surface impurities) and Quenching (to cool and harden the material). Following this, a Wax Application is performed to protect the rods against oxidation. Finally, in the Coiling and Packaging phase, the copper rods are inspected for quality, coiled, and packaged using materials such as plastic film and Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) wrapping

Description of the process flow diagram(s)

Cradle to gate with options, modules C1–C4, module D and with optional modules (A1–A3 + C + D and additional modules). The additional module considered is A5. The wire rods will be distributed to manufacturers who will apply additional processes (e.g., drawing) before further distribution and utilization in the retail market. In this context, estimating the transportation distance between the production facility and the end user (installation site) is unfeasible. Therefore, module A4 has not been included. Similarly, it is also unfeasible to identify or characterize any specific application for which the product will be used. Consequently, the B modules have not been included either.

Description of the default scenario	Cradle to gate with options, modules C1–C4, module D and with optional modules (A1–A3 + C + D and additional modules). The additional module considered is A5.

Module A5: Installation in the building

Explanatory name of the default scenario in module A5	Baseline
Brief description of the default scenario in module A5	Packaging waste transportation and treatment due to biogenic carbon content
Description of the default scenario in module A5	This module is included in the assessment due to the presence of biogenic carbon in the packaging materials Tused for the wire rods. Therefore, the key factors considered in this module include the transportation of the packaging materials and their final disposal. Following a conservative approach, it is assumed that the packaging materials are sent to a sanitary landfill for final treatment.

Module C: End-of-life

Explanatory name of the default scenario in module C	Baseline
Brief description of the default scenario in module C	EoL scenario for the product
Description of the default scenario in module C	The waste processing includes a decosntruction process, waste transportation, cable stripping and material separation. It was assumed 45.5% of copperr recycling rate. (IEA, 2021). The portion of the materials that is not recovered for recycling during waste processing is assumed to be sent to sanitary landfills. This includes fractions of copper that cannot be economically or technically processed for recovery. The disposal rates are as follows: 54.5% of the material is sent to landfill (IEA, 2021).

Module D: Beyond product life cycle

Explanatory name of the default scenario in module D	Baseline
Brief description of the default scenario in module D	Product recycling
Description of the default scenario in module D	This module represents the environmental benefits associated with the recycling of copper processed in C3. The recycled fractions of these materials are assumed to offset the production of an equivalent quantity of virgin material. The avoided impacts are calculated considering a global recycling rate (R2) of 45.5%, replacing virgin copper production (IEA, 2021).
