Aurubis SA, the Hamburg-based company set to put a recycling facility in Augusta by 2024, announced a second phase that will significantly increase its planned expenditure, provide 80 more jobs and double its output of blister copper used as a raw material across many pivotal industries. Aurubis said last November that it would invest 300 million euros (about $340 million at the time) and hire 125 people at the first phase of the greenfield site, where much of the infrastructure work has been completed since a groundbreaking in June.
