The Sustainability of Copper Rain Chains

Copper is a 100% recyclable raw material that is commonly referred to as an environmentally friendly product.  The unique properties of copper make it possible to manufacture products like rain chains that can be recycled and used to construct new products without any loss of performance or material. This allows copper products throughout the world to be re-used indefinitely.  In the United States alone, it is estimated that 80% of all the mined copper has already been reprocessed many times over and is still in use today. One thing that is unique to copper is that no matter how many times it is recycled and re-used, it always maintains its value.

Copper has been around since ancient times and has been used by people for over ten thousand years.  Its exceptional sustainability is based on the fact that this metallic chemical element reacts to air as opposed to water like many of the commonly used metals today.  The Statue of Liberty is made of 100% copper.  It never rusts and has aged beautifully into a stunning verdigris (bluish/green) monument.  Over time, 100% pure copper rain chains will also make the same transformation and are the obvious choice when it comes to choosing a sustainable product.  Consumers need to make certain that the rain chains they select are 100% pure copper and not copper plated.  www.RainChains4Less.com sells only 100% Pure Copper Rain Chains.

Replacing your degradable downspout with an eco-friendly alternative like a copper rain chain has a double benefit; it affords you a higher quality of life while preserving the environment. True sustainability is not difficult.   If people around the world would come together and make the effort to purchase merchandise made of sustainable materials we can collectively make a difference and, bring ourselves one step closer to making this planet a safer and healthier place to live.

The History of Rain Chains

The History of Rain Chains – Then & Now.

Rain chains were invented in Japan where they are commonly called “Kusari Doi”. Although they have been in use for hundreds of years, they are as popular today as when they originated and have traditionally been used on both private homes and temples. Rain Chains were introduced to the United States during the 1998 Winter Olympics which were hosted in Nagano, Japan.

Rain chains have gained popularity in the United States over the last decade as a substitute for traditional downspouts. Appreciated for their functional and aesthetic value, they are avidly recognized among homeowners, landscapers, garden enthusiasts, event planners and designers. The purpose of a rain chain is to direct the rainfall off the rooftop and away from the structure’s foundation in a graceful and beautiful manner.

In addition to being a decorative alternative to conventional downspouts, a rain chain can offer the added benefit of being an environmentally friendly/green product.  At www.RainChains4Less.com all of the rain chains are made of 100% pure copper.  Copper is the world’s most reusable resource. Because of its reusable nature, copper’s recycling rate is higher than that of any other engineering material. Annually, the United States, recovers nearly as much copper from recycled material as is derived from newly mined ore.
