BT bags £105m from copper wire recycling


BT Group PLC (LSE:BT.A) has received £105 million for recycling old copper wires retrieved from its fast-fibre upgrade programme.

Network subsidiary Openreach said: “As we look to recover and reuse scarce resources like copper in line with our commitment to sustainability, we estimate that as we replace old copper networks with fibre, we’ll be able to recover up to 200,000 tonnes of copper through the 2030s – in line with customer migrations.”


The £105 million was an upfront payment from metal recycling partner EMR for surplus copper cables replaced by fibre optic connections.

Openreach said it recovered 3,300 tonnes of copper in the year to 31 March 2024 with estimates that the programme could eventually see 200,000 tonnes of copper, worth currently about £1.5bn at spot prices

Annual copper demand is projected to grow from 25 million metric tonnes today to about 50 million tonnes by 2035.





I bought in this morning.

smurfy...because competition within the sector leads companies to giving out freebies...3 months free or 6 months half price etc etc...and some of these companies are willing to pay the penalty difference so you can sign up with new provider...

BT rival CityFibre has warned it must raise more money to survive as the rising cost of its broadband rollout pushed debts above £3bn.

The company, which is the largest of the so-called “alt-net” broadband firms taking on BT’s Openreach, said there was “material uncertainty” about its ability to continue because it was reliant on further external funding.

Is that volume on ADVFN for real?...not just here but across the board extremely low volumes...think punters would prefer some volatility...

Well done to all holders that got in early and yes 1.20 is probably gone now. I haven't come here to trash BT but the pension deficit is of concern to me if I were to invest.

Good luck with your holdings.

The trouble with ‘buying the dream’ is that it often doesn’t work out that way.
Just an opinion but the +50% in 6 months can disappear as quick as it appeared.

I've put this one on my watch list and those are my thoughts as well.

[tomke23] 16/9/2024 00:41

Some serious investors have bought in so long term prospects must be good. I know very little about BT but managing a major investment (copper to fibre) and managing a serious pension shortfall are both serious risks. I think I will wait on this one. If it falls to around c120p I will buy.

The BT ten year graph implies a possibility that we are only at the start of a very long recovery. Touchwood
