    What Is Millberry Copper Scrap?

    Millberry copper scrap — also known as Berry or Bright Copper Wire — is the highest-quality copper scrap grade available on the global market. It consists of clean, uncoated, unalloyed copper wire with a minimum purity of 99.9%. The name "Millberry" comes from the ISRI classification system used worldwide.

    Millberry copper is the preferred feedstock for copper rod mills, wire manufacturers, and cable producers because it can be directly melted and recast without extensive refining. For detailed grade comparisons, see our copper scrap grades guide.

  2. Purity Level: Higher purity commands better premiums.

  4. Shipping Terms: CIF pricing includes freight and insurance; FOB pricing is ex-works or ex-port.
