Copper is 100 per cent recyclable and it has been proven by the International Copper Alliance to improve energy efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions. It is also used as the basis for reliable and efficient generation and transmission systems for all forms of renewable energy sources including solar, wind, micro-hydro and bio-energy.
Copper has a long, proven track record thanks to its numerous qualities and abilities including durability and versatility through to anti-microbial benefits and its strength and ease of installation. The strength and versatility of copper means that it can cope with a huge range of temperatures, from below freezing to boiling point and beyond, and it can easily withstand higher working pressures than many other materials.
Given these attributes, it isn’t difficult to see why, in spite of the ever-increasing and often confusing array of pipework systems made from alternative materials, copper tube remains the king of the plumbing and heating industry!
