3. How to verify these companies

1. Hazardous waste operating permit: In the permit disclosure section on the official website of each city's ecology and environment bureau, check whether the approved categories cover copper-bearing wastes (commonly HW17, HW22, HW48; subject to the current National Catalogue of Hazardous Wastes), approved volume, and validity period. 2. Pollutant discharge permit: Search by company name on the National Pollutant Discharge Permit Management Information Platform to see whether the production facilities, raw and auxiliary materials, and permitted discharge volume are consistent with what the counterparty says. 3. EIA and acceptance: Check the construction project EIA approval and the disclosure of completion environmental protection acceptance, and verify the raw material types, pyrometallurgical or hydrometallurgical process route, and designed scale. 4. Entity qualification: On the National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System, check the business scope, list of enterprises with abnormal operations, administrative penalties, and equity pledges. 5. Goods-certificate correspondence: Request the third-party assay report for the batch and verify copper content and impurity elements.

4. What to watch out for

Copper prices fluctuate widely. When negotiating, put the pricing method, deduction standards for impurities, how to re-assay in case of grade disputes, whether tax is included, payment terms, and payment milestones into the contract; oral agreements easily lead to disputes. Be wary of supply sources introduced only by business cards and intermediaries; it is common for hazardous waste transfer manifests, weighbridge tickets, and the physical batch not to match. In addition, environmental inspections or maintenance can cause some small plants to suspend production temporarily, so ask clearly in advance about delivery times and sustained supply capability, and do not focus only on whether the quote is high or low.
