For decades, scrap markets have operated through fragmented channels-localised buyers, inconsistent pricing mechanisms, and informal negotiations spread across regions and material types. As recycling volumes scale and compliance expectations rise, this fragmentation has become a structural barrier to efficiency, fairness, and growth.
ScrapTrade has launched with a clear objective: to eliminate fragmentation in scrap markets by introducing a unified, technology-led marketplace that connects verified buyers and sellers within one governed trading environment.
The platform is owned and operated by MOBEIUS TECHNOLOGIES PTY LTD, reinforcing ScrapTrade’s role as neutral digital infrastructure rather than a broker or intermediary.
The Cost of Fragmented Scrap Markets
Fragmentation in scrap trading creates systemic inefficiencies, including:
- Disconnected regional pricing
- Limited buyer competition
- Reduced seller bargaining power
- Increased counterparty risk
- Poor visibility across material flows
These conditions suppress fair market value and make it difficult for recycling systems to scale responsibly.
ScrapTrade addresses these issues at the infrastructure level.
