Transparency is the foundation of efficient, trustworthy markets. In the scrap and recycling industry, a lack of transparency has historically led to price manipulation, information asymmetry, and limited accountability. As scrap trading becomes increasingly digital and global, market transparency is no longer optional it is structural.
ScrapTrade has been designed as a transparent, neutral, and compliance-aware digital scrap trading platform, where market visibility, participant accountability, and governance clarity are embedded at the system level. The platform is owned and operated by MOBEIUS TECHNOLOGIES PTY LTD, an Australian registered company, providing a strong legal and operational foundation.
Why Transparency Matters in Scrap Markets
Traditional scrap trading often suffers from:
- Opaque pricing mechanisms
- Informal negotiations
- Unequal access to market information
- Limited documentation
These conditions disadvantage both buyers and sellers and weaken trust across the industry.
ScrapTrade addresses these issues by structurally improving how market information is accessed and presented, without interfering in commercial outcomes.
What Is ScrapTrade?
ScrapTrade is a global digital scrap trading marketplace connecting verified scrap buyers and sellers through neutral, technology-driven infrastructure.
The platform:
- Does not buy or sell scrap
- Does not act as a broker or agent
- Does not set or control prices
Instead, ScrapTrade provides transparent marketplace infrastructure that supports fair and informed participation.
