Description of Operation
Xstrata Recycling is the world’s largest recycler of copper and precious metals bearing electronic scrap. The business operates two plants in the United States and commercial offices in Canada, Europe, Rhode Island and Malaysia.
The Malaysia office sources copper and precious metal-bearing scrap streams from electronics manufacturers in Asia, which are shipped to recycling facilities in California and Rhode Island for sampling, then sent as feed to the Horne smelter in Canada.
Xstrata Recycling recycles approximately 120,000 tonnes per annum of various metal-bearing materials at the Horne smelter in Quebec.
