In today’s global economy, metal scrap export plays a crucial role in sustainable manufacturing, environmental conservation, and the efficient circulation of raw materials across borders. At Tiger International Limited, through our platform MetalScrap.co.uk, we specialise in the international trade of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap—helping businesses turn waste into global opportunity.
What Is Metal Scrap Export?
Metal scrap export is the process of collecting, processing, and shipping recyclable metal materials—like copper, aluminium, stainless steel, and iron—to buyers overseas. Countries with high industrial demand, particularly in Asia, rely heavily on imported scrap to feed their steel mills and foundries.
Why Exporting Metal Scrap Is Essential
- Global Demand
Rapid industrialisation in countries like India, Vietnam, and China fuels the need for cost-effective raw materials. Metal scrap provides a sustainable alternative to virgin ore, cutting both emissions and production costs. - Environmental Impact
Exporting scrap supports the circular economy. Recycling just one tonne of steel scrap saves over 1,400 kilograms of iron ore, 740 kilograms of coal, and 120 kilograms of limestone. - Business Efficiency
For UK-based scrap producers, exporting provides access to more competitive global markets. It means better pricing, faster turnover, and a broader network of buyers.
