Copper remains one of the most valuable scrap metals globally. In 2026, copper scrap prices have continued their upward trend driven by strong demand from the electric vehicle industry, renewable energy infrastructure, and global manufacturing. At EUROSCRAP, we track the London Metal Exchange (LME) daily to offer the most competitive copper scrap prices available.
Copper Scrap Grades & Values
The most valuable grade is Bare Bright copper wire (Grade 1) — uncoated, unalloyed and free of impurities. Grade 2 copper includes clean copper pipe and wire with minor oxidation. Copper cable and mixed copper scrap carry lower but still competitive prices.
Factors Affecting Copper Scrap Prices
Multiple factors drive copper scrap prices: LME spot price fluctuations, global supply and demand, energy costs for smelting, and the quality of the material. EUROSCRAP provides transparent pricing tied directly to the LME, so you always get a fair deal.
