Copper is a nonrenewable material. It comes from a mineral deposit that the time it takes to produce copper is too long to be concidered renewable.
According to the Copper Alliance, copper is
100% recyclable. In fact, 9 million tones of copper is recycled each year. The recyclable process of copper uses 85% less energy than its original production. When a person is exposed to uncoated copper such as in coocking pans or drinking utenciles, copper can be toxic.
Copper is a durable, tough metal. It is of good resistance to corroison, antimicrobial and works well with other metals.
Copper’s adaptability: has a low viscosity, which allows to be manipulated into different shapes and various surfaces textures. It is also a thermal …show more content…
It is an adaptable material because it can be cut into different sizes for different purposes.
Limestone is a material that can be recycled and reused. People often recycle crushed stones in order to use in other projects.
Buildirect sells limestone from the modern global center of limestone tile production in Turkey. Turkey holds close to 40% of the total natural stone reserves in the world. The embodied energy of stone is low because very little process energy is involved: the stone is quarried and then cut at the factory. However, since it is a heavy material, the energy embodied in the transportation of the stone is high, especially coming from Turkey. It is recorded to be 2-4 MJ/ft2. by Upstyle Industries.
Ceramic is composed of natural clay and other raw ingredients and it doesn’t require the destruction of other natural resources. It is renewable in the sense that it can be created by raw ingredients found in nature.
Ceramic is a durable material. The tiles are extremely resistant to fire, utilized perfectly in areas where open flames will be present, which is especially important in warmer climates. It is a good choice for an application that requires extreme longevity, good insulation, or excellent resistance to changes in
