Glencore's Horne Smelter in Quebec was one of the first smelters in the world to recover copper and precious metals from electronic scrap, entering that market in the 1980s. The smelter produces metals from both mined primary feedstocks and from scrap materials. Today, end-of-life electronics and batteries, together, constitute the largest recycled feedstock inputs for Glencore, which receives recovered materials from over 200 suppliers in nearly 40 countries.
