With the increasing focus on sustainability, the demand for metal scrap has grown significantly. Scrap metals play a crucial role in construction and manufacturing industries, offering a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to raw materials. By recycling and repurposing these metals, industries contribute to a greener, more sustainable environment while reducing waste.

As a leading metal scrap importer and exporter, RC Global Exim is committed to driving growth in the metal scrap and alloys industry. We ensure a reliable supply of high-quality ferrous and non-ferrous metal scrap, supporting global industries in their sustainable manufacturing and construction effort

Types of Metal Scrap

Metal scrap is broadly classified into ferrous (contains iron) and non-ferrous (does not contain iron) metals.

Ferrous Metal Scrap (Iron-Based)

These metals are magnetic and widely used in construction, automotive, and heavy industries.

• Iron Scrap – Old pipes, cast iron, iron sheets, engine blocks

• Steel Scrap – Structural steel, rebar, steel beams, old machinery

• Stainless Steel Scrap – Kitchenware, medical instruments, industrial equipment

• Carbon Steel Scrap – Used in shipbuilding, bridges, rail tracks

Sources: Construction sites, old vehicles, railway tracks, industrial machinery

Non-Ferrous Metal Scrap (Non-Iron-Based)

These metals are non-magnetic, more resistant to corrosion, and have high recycling value.

• Aluminum Scrap – Beverage cans, window frames, aircraft parts

• Copper Scrap – Wires, plumbing pipes, electrical motors

• Brass Scrap – Faucets, doorknobs, musical instruments

• Bronze Scrap – Bearings, statues, ship parts

• Lead Scrap – Car batteries, roofing materials, radiation shields

• Zinc Scrap – Coatings for steel, die-casting components

Sources: Electrical wiring, plumbing, batteries, machinery, aerospace

E-Waste Metal Scrap

Comes from discarded electronic devices and contains valuable metals.

• Gold & Silver Scrap – Found in circuit boards, connectors

• Nickel Scrap – Batteries, stainless steel alloys

• Tin Scrap – Soldering materials, tin-coated wires
