As regulatory scrutiny increases across recycling, waste management, and commodities trading, the scrap industry faces a critical inflection point. Informal transactions, inconsistent verification, and limited oversight no longer align with modern compliance expectations.
ScrapTrade launches with a clear mandate: to operate as a compliance-first scrap marketplace, embedding governance, transparency, and accountability into every transaction layer.
Why Compliance Can No Longer Be Optional in Scrap Trading
Historically, scrap trading has relied heavily on trust-based relationships, localised operations, and manual processes. While functional at small scale, these systems struggle under:
- Expanding regulatory oversight
- ESG and sustainability reporting requirements
- Cross-border trade complexity
- Data privacy obligations
- Financial and counterparty risk
ScrapTrade responds to these pressures by designing compliance into platform architecture—rather than retrofitting it later.
