Is copper guttering eco-friendly?
Yes. Copper is one of the few materials that are fully sustainable being 100% recyclable. It is estimated that about 80 percent of all the copper ever mined (about 13 percent of the world’s reserves) is still in use in one form or another today, making copper one of the planet’s most sustainable materials. No other metal, much less plastics, can come close to matching copper in this vital area. Copper is considered a green metal and not just because of its natural protective reaction that turns it to a green patina.
