Automotive Wiring Harnesses
Due to the increasing amount of electronics in vehicles, more and more copper wire is needed in these vehicles. To prevent a massive tangle of wires, all the wires are bundled together to form the wiring harness. This wiring harness runs directly or via branches to all the components that need to be powered.
In the event of a malfunction, the wiring harness must be replaced in whole or in part, and the old wiring harness must be recycled. At the end of its service life, the wiring harness will also be removed before the vehicle is shredded. Removing the wiring harness before the vehicle goes through the shredder results in a higher recycling rate, which benefits both the environment and the economy.
Automotive wiring harnesses consist of numerous individual, generally thin copper wires. Processing this cable by hand is far too labor-intensive, so it is processed by shredding it with a cable shredder. The price of scrap cable depends on the LME rate and the current copper price that smelters are willing to pay for this secondary raw material.

Characteristics of Automotive Wiring Harnesses
Automotive wiring harnesses consist of bundles of thin copper wires covered with plastic insulation. These wires are often grouped together within a sheath or wrapping to protect the wiring from wear, moisture, and temperature fluctuations.
Because modern vehicles contain an increasing number of electronic systems—such as sensors, infotainment systems, and safety systems—the amount of wiring in vehicles is on the rise. As a result, larger quantities of scrap wire are also generated during auto recycling.
