The scrap industry has long operated through fragmented networks-localised buyers, informal negotiations, and inconsistent pricing signals. As recycling volumes grow and compliance expectations increase, the industry requires centralised digital infrastructure to operate efficiently at scale.
ScrapTrade has introduced a central marketplace for the scrap industry, designed to unify buyers and sellers within a single, structured trading environment governed by transparency, verification, and market-driven pricing.
The platform is owned and operated by MOBEIUS TECHNOLOGIES PTY LTD, positioning ScrapTrade as neutral market infrastructure, not a broker or intermediary.
Why the Scrap Industry Needs a Central Marketplace
Decentralised scrap trading creates structural inefficiencies, including:
- Limited buyer competition
- Price opacity and inconsistent valuations
- Higher counterparty risk
- Administrative and compliance challenges
A central marketplace addresses these issues by aggregating demand and supply, allowing prices to form transparently based on real market activity rather than isolated negotiations.
ScrapTrade was built specifically to serve this role.
