The European Copper Institute is a joint venture between the world's leading mining companies, custom smelters and semi-fabricators (represented by the International Copper Association, Ltd.) and the European Copper Industry.
The European Copper Institute is part of an international network of industry associations - funded by the copper industry - whose common mission is to defend and grow markets for copper, based on its superior technical performance and contribution to a higher quality of life. This network is unified by a common brand and visual identity: Copper Alliance.
Under the strategic leadership of the International Copper Association, the Copper Alliance encompasses regional offices in Brussels, New York, Santiago and Shanghai. The European Copper Institute supports ten national associations and their industry members.Main EU files targeted
The European copper industry is represented and does advocacy mainly through Eurometaux, the voice of the non-ferrous metals industry, on dossiers like REACH, emission trading scheme, raw materials, industrial policy, resource efficiency, etc.
Only copper-specific dossiers are managed directly by ECI (e.g. end-of-waste criteria for copper scrap, Non-ferrous metal BREF under Industrial Emission Directive) in collaboration with Eurometaux.Address
