Noranda has reorganized its U.S.-based recycling operations into a new company in an attempt to boost sales.
Noranda Recycling, based in San Jose, Calif., will have about 200 emloyees, with plants situated in San Jose and Roseville, Calif., Lavergne, Tenn., and East Providence, R.I.
The major has also commissioned an electronics recycling plant in Brampton, Ont., which will process about 1 million lbs. of old equipment per month.
The San Jose and East Providence plants will continue to recover copper and precious metals from the electronics, telecommunications, automotive, refining, and metal fabrication industries.
The Brampton, Roseville and Lavergne operations will focus on end-of-life electronics recycling, reflecting Noranda’s relationship with Hewlett Packard and other manufacturers of conventional equipment.
On average, about 150,000 tonnes, or roughly 15%, of the raw material feed for Noranda’s primary Canadian copper and recycling operations come from recyclable materials.
Based in Toronto, Noranda has 49 mining and metallurgical projects in 17 countries and employs more than 15,000 people.
