Why Consider Copper a Sustainable Material

Copper’s superior thermal and electrical conductivity, combined with its 100% recyclability make copper a truly green material perfect for building a sustainable world.

Copper and Sustainability

  • Copper in the Technologies of Tomorrow and Today
    Tankless, or on-demand, water heaters supply hot water needs without having to maintain a reservoir of water at high temperature 24 hours a day. Today, with rising oil prices, declining supply and a sincere desire to find more sustainable sources of power, wind energy has never been more popular. The average homeowner and many industries spend a significant portion of their energy costs on heating water. One way to minimize this is by using the sun to heat or support the need for heating water.
