About Aurubis Beerse:

The plant in Beerse processes more than 200,000 tons of multimetal scrap annually — ranging from complex residues to higher-grade scrap types — from which metals, metal products, and minerals are produced. Since the acquisition of the sites in Beerse and Berango in 2020, Aurubis has further expanded its role as one of the world’s leading copper recyclers and now processes a total of more than 1 million tons of recycling materials per year.
