The UK is one of the five largest metal scrap exporting countries in the world.
Metals recycling contributes more than any other sector to UK targets for the prevention of waste through recovery of ‘end of life’ products
Ferrous Metals
4.6 million tonnes of iron and steel and stainless steel scrap was supplied to steelworks in the UK, and 0.9 million tonnes to UK foundries – 6.1 million tonnes was exported.
Major markets were Europe, particularly Spain, and Asia, particularly India. The worldwide market for ferrous scrap is predicted to continue its steady growth, which has averaged around 5% per annum over the past 12 years
Manufacturing of metals continues to be one of the largest UK manufacturing sectors, employing more people, and contributing more value to the UK economy, than motor and aerospace combined. Growth in China, and to a lesser extent India, means that export markets are growing.
non-ferrous metals:
Over one million tonnes was processed. Approximately 45% of this was aluminium, 31% copper, and significant quantities of nickel, brass, zinc and lead. Non ferrous metals are traded on the London Metal Exchange, and therefore subject to volatility in commodity investments.
UK exports topped 800,000 tonnes in 2005, a 20% increase on the previous year. Europe, China and India are the main destinations.
We buy all grades of scrap from various sources, from large tonnages derived from demolition sites to other merchants all the way down to the local plumber!
We can collect in either skips or roll-on-off bins and offer either a wait and load or weekly/ monthly turn around.
