Elcowire is working with Smelters are powered by the eco-friendliest mines electricity from renewain the world, together we ble sources, mainly hydro are finding solutions to power. minimize the climate Excess heat from smelting impact of our supply chain. process is transferred to the cities´ heating system. Our contact wires power electrified trucks at the mine, as well as the trains that deliver copper to our production sites.
URBAN MINING
ELCOWIRE OPERATIONS
Our lean manufacturing We produce and deliver takes in account the sustainable products with use of renewable energy high quality and low CO2sources, low waste and footprint to our customers, negligible use of chemicals. and when the final application needs to be replaced, the copper is returned to a recycling process and reused in our copper production: A new product with high quality and low CO2footprint is produced and delivered to our customers.
Producing new products from existing copper products in applications that needs to be replaced, instead of taking raw material from the mine, is what we call: Urban mining.
With the input of conducting material, delivered from Elcowire, our customers produce their own products with an already significantly lower CO2- footprint.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES FOR OVERHEAD CONTACT LINE SYSTEMS WE ARE DEVELOPING ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES TO PROVIDE OUTSTANDING ENERGY SAVING PRODUCTS WITH MAXIMUM USEFUL LIFE TO ENABLE SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS – TAILOR-MADE TO OUR CUSTOMERS' NEEDS. ELCOWIRE CAN OFFER STANDARD MATERIALS, LOWCARBON COPPER, RECYCLED COPPER AND CUSTOMIZED SOLUTIONS AIMING TO SUPPORT OUR CUSTOMERS IN MEETING THEIR SPECIFIC PURPOSES.
TECHNICAL KNOW HOW Elcowire’s contact wires and catenary wires primarily rely on Elcowire’s brilliant know how and expertise in producing rod material of 8-22 mm as pre-material (Cu-ETP, CuSn alloys and CuAg alloys). Furthermore, Elcowire Rail provides an own upstream technology to produce rods of different CuMg alloys. Using different production steps, like rolling, drawing and stranding we finally produce an enormous wide range of different contact wires with different profiles and catenary wires and flexible cable conductors with various design configurations. This wide range of products derives from the several options to combine a chosen alloy, a specific contact wire profile or stranded wire configuration, a required cross-sectional area and finally the demand for special properties like mechanical strength and electrical conductivity. Fulfilling these complex demands of European and International standards as well as specific customer requirements is the unique competence of Elcowire Rail. It is a part of our mission to support our customers to finalize their own sustainable projects in railway applications.
QUALITY Today we are a leading supplier in Europe, in the aspect of casting, rolling, drawing and stranding. We have all the test equipment needed to check fulfilment of the requirements of common standards for contact wires and catenary wires, such as EN 50149, IEC 62917, DIN 48201 and IEC 63190. Our activities, our business processes and structures are based on well-established management systems for quality ISO 9001:2015, environment ISO 14001:2015, energy ISO 50001:2018 and health & safety ISO 45001:2008.
CUSTOMIZED ALLOYS Today’s modern rail applications put special requirements on the components and materials used in overhead contact lines. In particular, contact and messenger wires used in these applications require increased tensioning forces, highest possible electrical conductivity and the maximum possible fatigue strength. Elcowire has developed a comprehensive portfolio of products designed to meet these challenging demands. ELCOWIRE.COM
For railways with high speed up to 400 km/h, we offer the VALCOND CuMg0,2 and CuMg0,5 contact wires. These have been specially developed to ensure maximum tensile strength with minimal wear, while providing high electrical conductivity. For high-speed rail at speeds of 300 km/h and below, our VALCOND CuSn0,2 contact wires provide excellent tensile strength and conductivity. Elcowire’s copper alloy VALTHERMO CuSn0,1 is an economically and ecologically smart replacement for contact wires and stranded conductors made from copper and copper-silver alloys. It is typically suitable for applications of speeds up to 250 km/h. VALTHERMO products provide the maximum possible electrical conductivity and high tensile strength, with wear rates far below those of conventional copper or copper-silver solutions.
LOW-CARBON COPPER Half of the carbon emissions over its production processes, compared to the global average footprint for standard copper. Low-carbon Copper is made possible through production that has undergone a substantial transformation due to electrification and automation of various stages of the process. The Low-carbon Copper has also been made possible by a very efficient ore concentration process and a world-class green energy mix. The result is copper wire that has a low impact on nature and the climate. The significantly lower CO2 emissions of the Low-carbon Copper are verified through several validation processes. The reporting protocol that is used for verification is the Greenhouse Gas Protocol – Product Life Cycle Accounting and Reporting Standard. The product is also validated and reviewed against the general principles in ISO 14064-3 Standard. Environmental declarations Environmental declarations have been developed for Elcowire’s products, including Low-carbon Copper. Our footprint is verified through mass balance-based self-declarations for Low-carbon Copper Wire Rod and Low-carbon Copper Profiles, as per the framework in ISO 14021. This is a first important milestone for Elcowire and the next step is to perform calculations of the carbon footprint for drawn wire products. Elcowire aims to be a sustainability leader in its business, and therefore the carbon footprint is strategically important.

MATERiAL
1) Designation consists of values for nominal cross-sectional areal, number of individual wires, individual wire diameter, conductivity class and % IACS (e.g. S97 for standard conductivity of 97 % IACS), class of mechanical characteristics (C0 to C7) and material. 2) Any product with a conductivity class higher than standard (S) can be connected to VALCOND. Higher conductivity classes are H (high), E (extra high) and U (ultra high). 3) Calculation of break load according to IEC 63190 deviates from calculation according to DIN 48201 due to considering the stranding factor as well as an additional reduction coefficient. For non-standard products the technical and commercial availability should be inquired.

COPPER ALTERNATIVES
COMMITMENTS
OUR SOLUTIONS ARE AN ESSENTIAL COMPONENT IN THE ELECTRICAL AND INFRASTRUCTURE INDUSTRIES. WITH RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND FUTURE GENERATIONS, WE ARE DEVELOPING ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES TO PROVIDE YOU WITH OUTSTANDING ENERGY-SAVING PRODUCTS WITH MAXIMUM CIRCULARITY.
STANDARD COPPER
Our copper is responsible sourced to prevent abuses of human rights, avoid contributing to conflicts, as well as safeguarding health and safety of miners in the supply chain. Our cathodes are LME Grade A and in accordance with the standard ASTM B115, or EN 1978.
LOW-CARBON COPPER The Low-carbon Copper has less than half of the CO2 emissions per kg copper compared to standard copper. The reduced CO2 emissions of our Low-carbon Copper have been validated scientifically and will play an important role in the transition, to achieve the goal of net-zero CO2 emission by 2050 set by the EU. The carbon emissions reduction by using Low-carbon Copper is based on using copper mines with electrified production, Elcowire's lean production methods, very efficient ore concentration process and a world-class green energy mix. Elcowire sets the example by producing semi-finished and finished products that have a low impact on nature and climate.
RECYCLED COPPER One of the most significant benefits of copper is its recyclability. Copper is a highly sought-after material in the recycling industry because it can be recycled over and over again without losing its quality or purity. This means that copper can be reused in new products, reducing the need for mining and extraction of new copper ore. Recycling copper also reduces energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions associated with copper production, making it an environmentally friendly choice. Elcowire's waste management and processing of materials are focused on going from linear flows to circular flows, supporting the core of a circular economy.
Metals are extracted with lowest possible impact from suppliers' mines
Mines
End-of-Life materials can be sent back to smelters to be refined in several process steps
Suppliers (smelters) Cathods (raw material) manufacturing
End-of-Life copper can be sent back to Elcowire to be recycled Internal metal scrap is recycled
Process scrap from customers can be recycled at Elcowire
Elcowire Customers - Wire, rod and conductor - Cable and other copper based material manufacturing solutions manufacturing
End-of-Life - At the material end-of-life there are several possibilities for the material to get a new life
Elcowire's circularity process enables our customers to reduce their CO2 emissions.
