Aurubis demonstrates sustainable metal production with extensive the Copper Mark certification  

Aurubis AG, a leading global provider of non-ferrous metals and one of the largest copper recyclers worldwide, is continuing to expand its pioneering role in responsible and sustainable metal production by having its smelter network extensively certified with the Copper Mark. The Copper Mark is the leading internationally recognized assurance framework for a sustainable and responsible supply chain in copper production. 

Following the Pirdop (Bulgaria), Hamburg and Lünen (Germany), and Olen (Belgium) sites, the production site in Beerse (Belgium) and the rolling mill in Stolberg (Germany) have now been successfully certified. Furthermore, the Bulgarian site in Pirdop successfully passed its routine recertification. 

With the six sites, all large smelters are fully certified by the Copper Mark, as is almost the entire global Aurubis smelter network. This covers more than 95 % of the cathode output, which the company produces annually by sustainably processing concentrates and recycling materials. It furthermore impressively demonstrates Aurubis’ sustainability pledge, Tomorrow Metals.
