It says recycled copper. What is it recycled from?

Hi Venkat, delivery note from the vendor said copper was recycled from some old electricity wires. Regards, Jan

They seem like standard plastic so I would assume they could be recycled but as the other answerers I have kept mine and have even run them through the dishwasher. I've had mine for almost a year and they are still in great shape.

All copper will turn green if it's not cared for. It gets water spots etc if not dried immediately. Cleaning is easy though. Just use ketchup and let it set then wash it and it's as good as new.

Yes it's copper. You will periodically have to polish it when it tarnishes. We get lots of compliments on ours.

It is pure copper. Also, please look closely at the picture. It is pretty clear.

I'm not sure, but my best guess is that it uses a high percentage of post-consumer materials (aka, recycled plastics and possibly metals).

Definitely more copper. It's a nice piece. If you are using it outdoors make sure to drill holes for drainage it the bottom.

While I did not cut it open to verify, I am sure this is NOT copper. If it was, the manufacturers would have stated that fact somewhere on the label and description. They do not state the type of metal used for the wires anywhere. Many use copper coated aluminum wire.

The sticker on it said it was 100% India copper. I haven't had it tested or anything but it looks like 100% copper to me.

Sorry, but I don't know offhand. I can only say that generally it is a good selling point if something is recycled and they would be sure to mention it, I would think. If not mentioned by manufacturer, it probably is not. Just sayin'David

It is not copper but some type of metal with a very good finish. I leave them out all summer long and they hold up very well considering the heat and rain.

The wire that I received was copper. This is a good question and I didn't think to ask it until after I placed my order. But the wire is copper and a good quality.

I gave something away in my bottle not long after I bought it, and the recipient threw it into recycling! I don't remember. Sorry

As of December 2014 the Amazon description states: "Material: CCA - Copper Clad Aluminum (The top of the cable where the data transfers is copper and the base metal is aluminum)".

It has copper. I used it for a CCTV system and had no problems. Good quality cable.
