Turkey serves as a critical bridge for scrap metal trade between Europe and Asia. With a massive infrastructure boom in cities like Istanbul and Ankara, the volume of electrical waste has surged. However, many local operators still rely on outdated burning methods or inefficient stripping, which leads to significant copper loss and severe environmental penalties under new EU-aligned regulations.
The adoption of a professional cable granulator machine is becoming a necessity for Turkish SMEs. The local market is shifting toward closed-loop systems that can handle the diverse range of cable types found in Turkish construction, from thin telecommunication wires to heavy-duty armored power cables.
Economic volatility in Turkey has driven a demand for high-yield equipment. Operators are seeking systems that offer the lowest cost-per-ton of processing while maintaining a purity rate of 99% for recovered copper, ensuring they can sell their output at premium LME prices.
