The scrap and recycling industry serves a wide range of participants-from small scrap generators to multinational recycling buyers. Each participant has different operational needs, risk tolerances, and market access challenges.
ScrapTrade is designed as a neutral, digital scrap trading marketplace that supports multiple use cases without acting as a broker, trader, or price controller. Operated by MOBEIUS TECHNOLOGIES PTY LTD, an Australian registered company, ScrapTrade provides the infrastructure that enables secure, transparent, and scalable scrap trading across industries and geographies.
Why Use Cases Matter in a Scrap Marketplace
Unlike single-purpose platforms, a true marketplace must accommodate:
- Different transaction volumes
- Multiple scrap categories
- Domestic and international trade
- Varying compliance requirements
ScrapTrade’s flexibility allows it to support diverse participants while maintaining consistent governance and transparency.
