Commodity
Cable & wire scrap
Insulated copper and aluminium cable for granulation.
Trade overview
Specified for real-world processing
Bergent sources ISRI Druid (No. 1 insulated wire), No. 2 insulated wire, and power cable scrap from automotive wiring, industrial harnesses, and telecommunications cabling. Material is supplied to granulators, wire drawers, and rod mills throughout Pakistan, discharging at Karachi KPT or Port Qasim. Copper recovery after granulation depends on cable type and the buyer's processing capability.

Material in view
Cable construction changes recoverable value
Power cable, armoured cable, harnesses and mixed insulated wire differ visibly. A useful image set shows conductor size, insulation and the overall lot.
Illustrative yard view
Cable types remain recognisable in the lot
Wide views show the balance of heavy power cable, smaller insulated wire and mixed coils being discussed.
Material record
Construction detail supports the description
Representative close views can show armour, conductor size, exposed ends and attached plugs or fittings where present.

Loading context
Volume can govern the cable shipment
Coil size, packing density and container capacity are considered alongside weight when insulated cable is prepared for movement.
