Sustainability

At ECOR, sustainability is a part of everything we do. With a commitment to responsible manufacturing and environmental stewardship, we ensure that our ETP Copper Rod is produced with the highest ethical and sustainability standards in mind.

ECOR aligns with our parent company’s broader Vision 2030 holistic sustainability program, a long-term strategy focused on reducing carbon emissions, promoting circular economy initiatives, and enhancing energy efficiency in our own operations and throughout the supply chain. Through this initiative, we are invested in production efficiency, responsible resource management, and innovative solutions that support the global transition to a more sustainable, electrified future. We also take pride in being a Zero Waste to Landfill facility, achieving an impressive 99% diversion rate. This milestone demonstrates our proactive efforts in waste reduction, recycling, and resource recovery—key pillars in our drive for a circular economy.

Our facility in Indiana has received an assurance certification from The Copper Mark, a globally recognized framework, ensuring that our operations meet the most stringent standards for responsible sourcing, ethical labor practices, and environmental sustainability. This certification reflects our dedication to transparency, accountability, and reducing the environmental impact of copper production while maintaining superior quality and efficiency.

We proudly recycle our own manufacturing scrap directly back into ETP copper rod production. This vertically integrated system supports the broader circular economy goals, reduces waste, minimizes reliance on virgin materials or lower-grade material, and lowers our carbon footprint, all while maintaining the highest product quality. This in-house recycling capability gives ECOR a powerful advantage—allowing us to offer responsibly sourced copper solutions that truly close the loop.

In addition, we are ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management System certified, further underscoring our commitment to continual improvement in environmental performance and regulatory compliance.

By integrating responsible practices with high-capacity production capabilities, ECOR ensures that businesses can rely on sustainable, high-performance copper solutions without compromising on quality. We are proud to contribute to a more sustainable future by providing materials that enable renewable energy, smart infrastructure, and the next generation of electrification—all while upholding the highest standards of environmental and social responsibility.
