Peak copper is the point in time at which the maximum global copper production rate is reached. Since copper is a finite resource, at some point in the future new production from mining will diminish, and at some earlier time production will reach a maximum. When this will occur is a matter of dispute. Unlike fossil fuels, copper is scrapped and reused  and it has been estimated that at least 80\% of all copper ever mined is still available (having been repeatedly recycled).Copper Alliance | Our mission is to defend and grow markets for copper based on its superior technical performance and its contribution to a higher quality of life worldwide. Copperinfo.com. Retrieved on 14 March 2014. Copper is among the most important industrial metals,  valued for its heat and electrical conductivities and malleability . Copper is used in electrical power cables, data cables , electrical equipment, cooling and refrigeration tubing, heat exchangers, brass casing small arms ammunition, water pipes , and jewellery .
