Copper Wire Stripper
The Safer Way
A note from Carlo Di Legge,
Copper Wire Stripper.
Copper Wire Stripper is proud to say that my busi-
ness is “green” because it is a clean and environ-
mentally friendly way to strip copper wire. And it
makes it easier to recycle copper!
Every time the copper comes out of the ground,
there is less of it for future generations which makes
it so important to keep as much copper already in
the industry cycle continually recycled and reused.
Recycling means less new material is needed for
manufacturing and, at the same time, it means less
copper is being dumped into our landfills. Copper
Wire Stripper maximizes the amount of copper that
is recycled.
It is important to recognize the importance
of the environment on the future.
Recyclers and scrap yards want clean copper to
pay top dollar. Stripping wire manually can be a te-
dious and dangerous task. Most people use a knife
to strip the insulation from wire and risk injury to
themselves. Our machines do the job quickly, eas-
ily and safely.
Some people burn the insulation to get it off the
wire. The use of open fire results in low-temperature
burning, however this impacts the environment.
Low-temperature burning releases contaminants
into the air, water and soil including dioxins, furans,
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, particulate mat-
ter, heavy metals (such as lead, arsenic, selenium
