On the 18th of September, we hosted our very first Pamper Mom Pretty Durban at Managwanani high tea room in Sibaya.
The day was dedicated to pampering, high tea and lots of goodies thanks to our amazing sponsors!
Pamper Mom Pretty was an event I started in 2014, you can read about the event here.
It’s an event I created to bring moms together to relax, mingle and be introduced to different brands.
I’m truly blessed! I work with amazing brands and people who don’t even question me about the event and said yes immediately.
This event was about spoiling our moms and moms to be, I think our sponsors did a fabulous job at that. Each goodie bag was filled with products from sponsors who carefully chose the items for mom and baby. We even had raffle prizes worth thousands of rands!
A BIG THANK YOU TO:
EVERY MOM WHO ATTENDED.
You made the event a success and because of you, I will keep doing what I am doing. To all our pregnant moms, I wish you a safe delivery and recovery. Remember I’m always here to chat about products and my experience.
MY HUSBAND WHO IS MY PILLAR OF STRENGTH.
MY MOM AND COUSIN WHO HELPED ME PREPARE FOR THE EVENT.

Copper recovery and recycling Copper has been used for centuries by human beings for a variety of purposes. From ancient civilizations to modern times, copper has played a crucial role in our lives. This versatile metal is widely used for electrical wiring, plumbing, industrial machinery, construction, and many other applications. In recent years, copper has gained even more attention as a metal of the future. With the rise of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power, copper has become an indispensable material for the production of solar panels, wind turbines, and other green technologies. Copper is an excellent conductor of electricity and heat, making it ideal for these applications. In fact, copper is one of the most efficient conductors of electricity, which means that it can transfer energy with little loss. Another area where copper is increasingly in demand is in electric vehicles (EVs). EVs require a large amount of copper for their wiring and other electrical components. According to the International Copper Association, a single EV can contain up to 3.6 kilometers of copper wiring. As the world shifts towards cleaner transportation, the demand for copper is expected to grow exponentially. Copper is also a crucial component in the transition towards a circular economy. As more companies adopt sustainable manufacturing practices, the need for recycled copper is increasing. Copper is infinitely recyclable, which means that it can be used again and again without losing its qualities. This makes copper an extremely valuable resource in a world where resources are becoming scarcer. In conclusion, the future looks bright for copper. With its ability to conduct electricity and heat efficiently, copper is an essential component in a wide range of applications. From renewable energy to sustainable manufacturing, copper plays a crucial role in building a better future for us all Scrap metal industry regulations Copper scrap reclamation projects Copper scrap material analysis Copper scrap permits Scrap copper alloys Metal recovery and reclamation
Copper sulfate recycling Copper is one of the oldest metals known to mankind and has been used for various purposes for centuries. It is a versatile metal that is commonly used in electrical wiring, plumbing, and construction, among other applications. The manufacturing process of copper involves several stages, including mining, smelting, refining, and casting. Mining: The first step in the manufacturing process of copper is mining. Copper deposits are usually found in large quantities in underground or open-pit mines. The mining process involves drilling and blasting to extract the copper ore from the ground. Smelting: After the copper ore has been extracted, it is sent to a smelter for further processing. Smelting involves heating the ore in a furnace to a temperature of about 2,200В°F (1,200В°C) to melt the copper and other metals. The molten metal is then poured into molds to form ingots or other shapes. Refining: Once the copper has been smelted, it is then refined to remove impurities and further purify the metal. This process involves several steps, including electrorefining and fire refining. Electrorefining involves placing the impure copper in an electrolyte solution and passing an electric current through it. This causes the impurities to be removed from the copper, which settles to the bottom of the electrolytic cell. The refined copper is then removed from the top of the cell and cast into ingots. Fire refining involves melting the copper in a furnace and adding certain chemicals to remove impurities. The copper is then poured into molds to form ingots. Casting: The final stage in the manufacturing process of copper is casting. The refined copper is cast into various shapes, such as rods, tubes, wires, and sheets. This is done by melting the copper and pouring it into molds of the desired shape. In conclusion, the manufacturing process of copper involves mining the ore, smelting it to extract the metal, refining it to remove impurities, and finally casting it into various shapes. This process requires a lot of energy and resources, but copper is a valuable metal that is essential for many applications Metal reclamation and reuse Copper scrap Copper slag recycling Copper scrap community engagement Scrap Copper industry Metal recycling certifications
