Sažetak
The paper presents a brief overview of the history of copper as the first known metal in human history. Principal properties and chemical compositions of the modern-day copper alloys are described. The methods of primary (i.e. from the ore) and secondary (i.e. from waste) production of copper are discussed. Some countries mine a lot of copper, while the others mostly process the copper ore into copper materials. The growth in value as well as in weight of primary and secondary copper in the last 20 years is presented and analyzed. Several predictive models for future copper production and associated energy consumption have been presented and discussed: for the period up to year 2050 and up to 2100. Current data on end-of- life for copper in different parts of the word and a global average were given, based on which a sustainability level of copper production form the ore in 200, 500, and 1000 years was presented. For the same time periods, the needed global copper resources were estimated based on higher end-of life recycling rates. Sustainable Development Goals applicable to the production of copper and the use of copper in modern technology is discussed. The Goal that is currently in focus of the world leaders’ is Decent Work and Economic Growth, which is also highly applicable to the extractive industry of copper.
