Copper Companies in Guangdong, China (2026 Directory, 141 listed)

This directory includes 141 companies in Guangdong Province engaged in copper-related business, covering segments such as recycled copper recovery and sorting, copper rod and wire processing, copper material rolling, and scrap copper trading. The information is compiled from public sources, including the Pollutant Discharge Permit Management Information Platform, public disclosures of hazardous waste operating permits by ecological and environmental departments, the Solid Waste Management Information System, and registration information from the National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System. It is suitable for copper material buyers, recyclable resource traders, recycling companies, and industry researchers for preliminary search, and cannot replace on-site verification. Directory information changes over time; before formal cooperation, please confirm item by item according to the methods below.

3. How to verify these companies

1. Entity qualification: Check the full company name on the National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System, see whether the business scope includes recyclable resource recovery and nonferrous metal processing, and check years since establishment, abnormal operation and administrative penalty records. 2. Pollutant discharge permit: Search by name on the National Pollutant Discharge Permit Management Information Platform, confirm whether the industry category is copper rolling processing or secondary metal smelting, and check the validity period, permitted discharge amount and rectification records. 3. Hazardous waste qualification: For those involving scrap copper, copper-bearing sludge, and waste etching solution, go to the provincial Department of Ecology and Environment website to check the hazardous waste operating permit, and verify the approved category, scale and validity period; those only doing scrap copper sorting and baling are usually not included here, and this must be distinguished. 4. Products and testing: Request applicable standards and third-party test reports, confirm the institution has CMA or CNAS qualification, and whether the measured values in the report, such as copper content, impurities and resistivity, match the contract.

4. What to watch out for

Common pitfalls: Quotes are calculated on theoretical copper content, but settlement is based on actual assay, and impurity deduction standards are not clearly written; it is said to be electrolytic copper, but it is actually recycled copper rod; scrap copper is adulterated with water, iron or plastic, and weighing and assay are the steps most prone to problems. Also watch out for qualification affiliation—borrowing another party’s hazardous waste permit to receive goods. Before payment, confirm invoice type and tax rate; input invoices in the recyclable resource recovery segment are prone to disputes. Prices fluctuate with the market, and delivery time and settlement price differences should be written into the contract.
