Copper in Oman — Copper Scrap Recycling & Ingots

Copper scrap we buy

Copper scrap includes Millberry copper wire, tubing and other copper-bearing material from approved sources. It is inspected and separated by quality so that its recovery value is protected.

A lot of copper arrives inside other equipment. Used and surplus cables are processed to separate the copper from the insulation. Electric motors contain copper windings and steel cores, so we dismantle and sort them to recover each metal by type. Radiators and compressors from vehicles, plants and air-conditioning equipment are handled the same way to recover copper, aluminium, brass and steel.

Copper ingots we produce

Copper in Oman from Al Thail Group means the copper ingot, recycled from recovered copper scrap and cable. We also supply custom copper products to the requirements of the customer.

How copper is recycled

Copper recycling starts with copper scrap, including Millberry wire, which is sorted and processed for recovery. The metal is melted and cast into copper ingots, with quality control checks along the way to meet the intended specification. Where an alloy is needed, the material is melted and alloyed as required.

Where copper is collected and processed

Our collection network in Oman runs through Misfah, Ghala, Nizwa, Salalah, Duqm, Sohar and Samail. At each yard material is checked on arrival and basic sorting is done on site, so that copper goes into its own stream. Sorted lots are then sent to Madayn Sohar (Non Ferrous Division), where copper and brass are recovered.

Recovered copper stays in the supply chain

Copper also comes from our industrial dismantling and demolition projects, where recovered metal is sorted into ferrous and non ferrous streams so that the copper can be recycled. When cables are processed, the recovered copper is returned to the supply chain instead of being lost with the insulation. Finished copper ingots are checked against specification before release. If you have another copper-bearing material, we also consider other scrap and recoverable materials on request, and each is assessed against our approval and handling requirements before acceptance.

What copper ingots are used for

Copper in Oman from Al Thail Group is supplied as ingots that are used for wire, tube, sheet, electrical components and further alloy production. Copper is supplied to global markets, based on the specification each customer requires.
