Abstract
Copper has been vital to industrialised human development in electricity, plumbing and communications. Patterns of demand have changed as new materials have replaced some traditional uses of copper, however copper remains a crucial material for human development. Rapid economic development in the Asian region has required, and will require, substantial volumes of copper.
Many of the issues discussed in this report are highly interdependent. Though tempting, it is unhelpful to treat each issue independently and assume the outcome is the sum of each part.Copper has been vital to industrialised human development in electricity, plumbing and communications.
