Environmental Profiles of Our Products

Already small and still shrinking: The environmental footprint of our products

Copper, tin, silver, gold and other metals are the elements at the heart of digitalization. So for sustainable development, it is crucial that we find environmentally friendly ways of producing these essential metals. With our life cycle assessments (LCAs), we have again demonstrated that we are pioneers in sustainability. In addition to copper cathodes, which we have documented in our environmental profiles since 2013, we also compiled the first LCAs for gold, silver and tin as well as for wire rod and continuous cast shapes copper products in 2022.
