In additi<strong>on</strong> to this there are some units registered with CPCB which reprocess<br />
copper with other n<strong>on</strong>ferrous metals. The list <strong>of</strong> such units has been given at<br />
Annexure 3-II and also given in Table: 3.8.<br />
Table: 3.8- State wise Capacities <strong>of</strong> Other N<strong>on</strong> ferrous Metals Reprocessing<br />
Units as Registered with CPCB/MOEF as <strong>on</strong> 13.5.2010<br />
(T<strong>on</strong>nes/Year)<br />
Sl. No. State No. <strong>of</strong> Units Capacity<br />
1. Andhra Pradesh 2 10,780<br />

Total 132 517,515<br />
It is seen from the Annexures: 3- I and 3- II as well as Table: 3.7 and Table:<br />
3.8 that these units require substantial quantities <strong>of</strong> scrap. The data <strong>on</strong> the scrap which<br />
is generated indigenously is not available, however the availability <strong>of</strong> copper scrap is<br />
met by imports. The import <strong>of</strong> copper scrap is made under various trade names as<br />
approved by Institute <strong>of</strong> Scrap Recycling Industries Inc.(ISRI) in scrap specificati<strong>on</strong>s<br />
Circular, 2009. The same is given in Annexure: 3 - III.<br />
As per the guidelines <strong>of</strong> ISRI, Scrap and Other <strong>Copper</strong> Commodity is also<br />
traded by India as per various H S Codes as given in Annexure: 3 - IV (A) and<br />
Annexure: 3 - IV (B).<br />
3.4.1 Producti<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> Recycled <strong>Copper</strong>:<br />
India being net exporter <strong>of</strong> copper as well as in the producti<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> virgin<br />
copper. However, as menti<strong>on</strong>ed earlier, scrap is recycled to meet out the<br />
requirements <strong>of</strong> industries which require a little cheaper and less pure material.<br />
The study in field as well as discussi<strong>on</strong>s with experts in the reprocessing<br />
industries as well as <strong>of</strong>ficials <strong>of</strong> CPCB and SPCB’s it is understood that all the<br />
reprocessing units which are registered with the CPCB/MOEF are not in<br />
operati<strong>on</strong> and the operating units are not utilising their full capacity.<br />
As per the general opini<strong>on</strong> about 40% <strong>of</strong> the units are in operati<strong>on</strong> and<br />
the capacity utilizati<strong>on</strong> is about 50%. The recovery <strong>of</strong> copper by these units is<br />
