Fairness is the foundation of any sustainable trading marketplace. In the scrap industry-where price opacity, unequal access, and intermediary dominance have historically distorted outcomes-market fairness is often compromised.
ScrapTrade was built to correct these structural imbalances through a market fairness model that prioritises neutrality, transparency, and equal opportunity. Operated by MOBEIUS TECHNOLOGIES PTY LTD, an Australian registered company, ScrapTrade applies fairness not as a policy slogan, but as a platform architecture principle.
What Market Fairness Means in Scrap Trading
Market fairness ensures that:
- All participants access the same market information
- No party receives preferential treatment
- Prices emerge from genuine supply–demand interaction
- The platform does not influence outcomes
Fair markets enable trust, efficiency, and long-term participation.
ScrapTrade’s Market Fairness Philosophy
ScrapTrade’s fairness model is based on one core principle:
The platform must never benefit from market imbalance.
To achieve this, ScrapTrade separates:
- Market infrastructure
- Participant activity
- Transaction responsibility
This separation prevents conflicts of interest and preserves fairness.
1: Platform Neutrality
ScrapTrade is a non-participating marketplace.
The platform:
- Does not buy scrap
- Does not sell scrap
- Does not act as a broker or agent
- Does not influence negotiations or pricing
This neutrality ensures all buyers and sellers operate under identical conditions.
2: Equal Market Visibility
All verified participants receive:
- Equal access to listings
- Consistent presentation of offers
- Uniform discovery mechanisms
No listings are promoted, suppressed, or prioritised based on relationships or fees.

3: Transparent Information Flow
ScrapTrade reduces information asymmetry by:
- Standardising listing formats
- Enforcing consistent data visibility
- Avoiding private or off-platform price steering
Transparent information enables informed decision-making.
4: Verified Participation Standards
Market fairness requires legitimate participants.
ScrapTrade supports this through:
- Verified buyer access
- Verified seller participation
- Reduced impersonation and bad-faith activity
Verification ensures competition occurs between real, accountable entities.
5: No Price Manipulation
ScrapTrade does not:
- Set prices
- Recommend prices
- Adjust prices
- Intervene in negotiations
Prices are determined entirely by market participants, preserving genuine price discovery.
