The scrap industry does not suffer from a lack of participants-it suffers from a lack of modern, neutral infrastructure. Fragmented systems, informal processes, and inconsistent governance have limited efficiency, transparency, and scalability across scrap markets.
ScrapTrade positions itself not merely as a marketplace, but as digital infrastructure for the scrap industry-providing the foundational systems that enable compliant, transparent, and scalable scrap trade.
This positioning reflects a shift from transactional platforms toward market-enabling architecture.
Why the Scrap Industry Requires Dedicated Infrastructure
Most traditional scrap trading channels evolved organically, not systematically. As a result, many markets still rely on:
- Manual negotiations and offline workflows
- Relationship-based pricing signals
- Limited verification of counterparties
- Inconsistent data capture and record-keeping
- Regional silos that restrict market access
These limitations hinder participation from compliant operators, institutional buyers, and sustainability-focused organisations.
ScrapTrade addresses these issues by delivering infrastructure-level capabilities, not short-term trading tools.
What It Means to Be Industry Infrastructure
ScrapTrade does not aim to replace industry participants or control trade. Instead, it provides neutral systems that support how the industry already functions-at higher standards.
