Mexican Artisans Promote the Use of Recycled Copper in the F
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US">For many
years copper has been the main raw material used by the Mexican artisans of
Santa Clara del Cobre for the fabrication of their beautiful artisan items.
Originally artisans relied on the natural supply of copper of their lands for
the fabrication of their items. But has the supply of the original sources has
decreased and the demand for items as copper sinks (http://www.copper-sinks-mexico.com)
has increased they have had to think and look for new and alternate sources of
copper material.<o:p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Thankfully
they have found a reliable source of copper in the recycling industry. Trucks
loaded with tons of copper junk coming form many parts in central Mexico arrive
every week and deliver their precious load to the artisans shops. Artisans pay
the load of copper according to the cleanness of the material, the cleaner your
copper the closer you will get to be paid at international market prices for
pure copper, that lately has been increasing steeply making this recycling
business more profitable for the copper gatherers. Though all junk serves,
artisans specially avoid junk made of copper wires covered with too much
soldering due to the harming potential that this impurities have for the very
characteristic look of their handmade copper items.<o:p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US">The high
demand and good price paid for copper junk has created a new industry of copper
gatherers in central Mexico with a number of benefits for the environment
turning old useless junk yards into a profitable mine of copper and preserving
natural copper sources for more strategic applications. And at the same time<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>it has also benefited the economy of the abundant population of this
region of Mexico that has seen a growing industrialization in recent years.<o:p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US">So now
many people may have one more reason to buy a copper sink; that they are
environmental friendly.<o:p>
