The scrap industry underpins global recycling, manufacturing supply chains, and the circular economy. Yet despite its importance, scrap trading has remained largely fragmented-characterised by informal processes, uneven standards, and limited transparency.
ScrapTrade announces a clear mission: to reform scrap trade practices by replacing outdated, risk-heavy systems with a transparent, compliant, and technology-driven marketplace model.
This mission reflects a structural shift in how scrap markets must operate in a modern, regulated, and sustainability-focused economy.
Why Scrap Trade Practices Require Reform
Across many markets, scrap trading has historically relied on:
- Manual negotiations and offline price discovery
- Inconsistent buyer and seller verification
- Limited transaction traceability
- Regional market isolation
- High counterparty and compliance risk
While these practices once sustained local trade, they no longer meet the demands of national scale, cross-border recycling, ESG accountability, or regulatory oversight.
ScrapTrade was created to directly address these systemic weaknesses.
A Mission Built on Structural Change, Not Incremental Fixes
ScrapTrade’s mission is not to digitise old habits-but to redesign the rules of engagement for scrap trading.

Every buyer and seller must meet platform verification standards, improving accountability and market confidence. - Transparent, Market-Driven Pricing
ScrapTrade does not set prices or act as a broker. Prices emerge through open interaction between buyers and sellers. - Platform Neutrality
ScrapTrade does not trade, broker, or influence transactions-ensuring no conflict of interest. - Governance-Led Infrastructure
Compliance, data security, and audit readiness are embedded into platform architecture. - Scalable Digital Access
