About ScrapTrade

ScrapTrade is an Australian digital marketplace designed to modernise the way scrap materials are bought and sold. The platform provides a structured, transparent, and compliance-driven environment where verified buyers and sellers can trade scrap materials efficiently and securely.

By introducing digital infrastructure purpose-built for scrap commerce, ScrapTrade aims to support fair market access, accountability, and industry-wide efficiency.

The platform operates nationwide and supports a broad range of scrap categories, serving individuals, businesses, recyclers, demolition companies, manufacturers, and commercial operators.

Purpose and Vision

The scrap industry plays a critical role in resource recovery and the circular economy, yet it has traditionally relied on informal processes, limited price transparency, and disconnected local trading networks.

ScrapTrade’s purpose is to provide modern digital infrastructure that enables:

  • Transparent price discovery

  • Verified participation by buyers and sellers

  • Reduced transaction risk

  • Improved market efficiency

  • Fair access to national scrap markets

The platform is designed as long-term industry infrastructure rather than a short-term marketplace, with a focus on stability, scalability, and governance.

Platform Principles

ScrapTrade is built around four core principles:

1. Transparency

The platform is designed to improve visibility across scrap transactions, pricing mechanisms, and market access, helping participants make informed decisions.

2. Trust and Verification

ScrapTrade applies verification standards for platform participants to reduce counterparty risk and improve confidence in digital scrap trading.

3. Compliance and Governance

Compliance is embedded into platform design, supporting lawful trade practices, accountability, and structured transaction processes.

4. Fair Market Access

ScrapTrade aims to reduce reliance on intermediaries and information asymmetry by enabling direct, structured connections between buyers and sellers.

ScrapTrade Industry Role

ScrapTrade functions as a neutral digital marketplace rather than a broker or trader. The platform does not participate in buying or selling scrap itself. Instead, it provides the infrastructure required for market participants to transact efficiently and transparently.

By improving access to verified counterparties and structured processes, ScrapTrade supports more competitive pricing, reduced disputes, and improved operational efficiency across the scrap supply chain.

Supporting the Circular Economy

ScrapTrade aligns with Australia’s broader circular economy and sustainability objectives by supporting responsible material recovery and reuse.

Improved transparency, traceability, and efficiency in scrap trading contribute to better resource utilisation, reduced waste, and stronger recycling outcomes across industries.

The platform is designed to support evolving regulatory, environmental, and reporting expectations within the recycling and resource management sectors.

Long-Term Focus

ScrapTrade is built with a long-term perspective on industry needs. Ongoing development focuses on:

  • Strengthening platform governance

  • Enhancing data transparency and reporting

  • Supporting scalable, high-volume transactions

  • Improving user experience for commercial and industrial participants

  • Aligning with future regulatory and sustainability requirements

The goal is to establish ScrapTrade as foundational infrastructure for modern scrap commerce in Australia.
