It is a conduit of electricity, as well as, a dietary element.  It is a magnificent metal that has endless forms, uses, and advantages.  It was first discovered over ten thousand years ago by ancient civilizations, and has been a primary tool and key component to all living organisms.  Read on to learn why it is so valuable, and catch up on more interesting truths about this inspiring metal we call copper!<\/p>\n<h1>Copper is a Natural Metal<\/h1>\n<p>Copper occurs naturally in the outdoors.  It is soft and malleable in its purest form.  A non-corroded surface will appear reddish or orange in color.  This is the most recognized look of copper, today.  It is one of the few metals that is one hundred percent recyclable because of its natural makeup.  However, there are various other metals made of copper constituents that can also be recycled.<\/p>\n<h1>Copper is Vital in the Survival of All Living Organisms<\/h1>\n<p>As mentioned before, copper is a key component in all living life forms.  This is because it is a dietary mineral.  Depending on the organism, it can be found in organs, blood, muscle, and bone.  It is an essential trace element that every living thing requires.<\/p>\n<h1>Copper is One of the Most Naturally Plentiful Metals on Earth<\/h1>\n<p>It is a fact that there is still a vast amount of natural copper in just the first kilometer of the Earth\u2019s crust!  It is suggested that this much copper could mean we can continue to mine copper at our current rate for the next five million years.  That is fascinating and good news!  An extra fact; copper is not only found inside the Earth\u2019s crust, but also in massive stars in space.<\/p>\n<p>Did you also know that it is estimated that nearly eighty percent of the world\u2019s mined copper is still being reused and fluctuated around to this day?  This is why recycling metal is so great for our environment!  It is one of the most popular metals to recycle, under aluminum and iron.  It can be melted down and reused over and over again.  Copper plays a vital role in our environment, and the growth and sustainability of all living plants and creatures, including ourselves.  It is truly a magical and fascinating element.<\/p>\n<h2>Zore\u2019s Recycling<\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_319\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zoresrecycling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Indianapolis-Metal-Recyclers.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-319\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-319\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zoresrecycling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Indianapolis-Metal-Recyclers-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"Indianapolis Metal Recyclers\" width=\"300\" height=\"150\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.zoresrecycling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Indianapolis-Metal-Recyclers-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.zoresrecycling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Indianapolis-Metal-Recyclers.jpg 628w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-319\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Indianapolis Metal Recyclers 317-244-0700<\/p><\/div><strong>Call Zore\u2019s Recycling at 317-244-0700<\/strong> for more information about recycling copper in Indianapolis, Indiana.
