Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metal Scrap Buyers – A S Traders

Metal is one of the most widely used resources in the industrial world. From construction and engineering to manufacturing and transportation, every industry relies on metals in one form or another. But with large-scale usage comes large-scale waste. Over time, industries accumulate unused metal parts, dismantled machinery, and production leftovers that occupy space and often lose value if not managed properly. This is where professional scrap buyers step in to convert what looks like waste into real, recoverable value.

At A S Traders, we specialize in purchasing both ferrous and non-ferrous metal scrap. With years of experience in the scrap trade, we understand the unique market demand for different metals and ensure our clients get the best possible returns while promoting sustainable recycling.

Ferrous Metal Scrap

Ferrous metals are those that contain iron as their main component. They are magnetic, durable, and commonly found in large-scale industries, construction projects, and heavy engineering works. Because of their strength, ferrous metals are heavily used, and consequently, they form the largest share of industrial scrap.

We deal in all forms of iron-based scrap, including:

• Mild Steel (MS) Scrap
  Mild steel is extensively used in fabrication, construction, and manufacturing. Its scrap often comes from sheets, cuttings, and rejected production parts. MS scrap is one of the most traded categories due to its high recyclability and demand in secondary steelmaking.

• Heavy Melting Scrap (HMS)
  HMS consists of large iron and steel scrap generated from construction, demolition, and heavy machinery. It is commonly melted down in furnaces to produce new steel products.

• Machinery Scrap
  Outdated, dismantled, or non-functional machinery is a common source of ferrous scrap. Motors, engines, gear systems, and heavy machine bodies all contribute to this category.

• Industrial Fabrication Scrap
  Factories and fabrication units generate tons of off-cuts, rejected parts, and surplus pieces during production. This type of scrap is regular, high in volume, and easy to recycle.

• Structural Steel Scrap
  Large steel beams, rods, angles, and channels used in buildings, bridges, and industrial structures eventually become scrap during renovation or demolition projects.

• Cast Iron Scrap
  Cast iron is found in machine components, old pipelines, automotive parts, and tools. Its scrap is widely reused in the foundry and casting industries.

Ferrous scrap recycling is essential for industries because it reduces the demand for mining fresh iron ore, saves energy, and ensures cost efficiency in steel production.

Non-Ferrous Metal Scrap

Unlike ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals do not contain iron and are therefore resistant to rust and corrosion. They are lighter, more malleable, and often more valuable. Their high market price makes them a critical source of income for industries that generate such waste.

We purchase all categories of non-ferrous scrap, including:

• Copper Scrap
  Copper is one of the most sought-after metals in the scrap market due to its excellent conductivity and durability. We buy copper wires, cables, motors, plumbing parts, and other copper-based materials. Recycled copper is widely used in electrical, construction, and manufacturing industries.

• Aluminium Scrap
  Aluminium is lightweight and versatile, found in sheets, window frames, automobile bodies, and industrial profiles. Its scrap is easily recyclable and plays a vital role in packaging, transportation, and aerospace industries.

• Brass Scrap
  Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, commonly used in pipes, valves, and industrial fittings. It has high corrosion resistance and decorative appeal, making its scrap valuable in manufacturing and design industries.

• Lead Scrap
  Lead scrap primarily comes from used batteries, cable coverings, and industrial equipment. Since lead requires careful handling due to its hazardous nature, we ensure responsible collection and recycling in compliance with safety standards.

• Zinc Scrap
  Zinc is commonly found in roofing sheets, die-cast products, and galvanization industries. Recycled zinc is in demand for steel coating and alloy production.

• Nickel and Alloy Scrap
  Nickel and its alloys are used in high-performance industries such as engineering, chemical plants, and aerospace due to their strength and resistance to extreme temperatures. Their scrap is valuable for specialized recycling and alloying purposes.

Non-ferrous metals, though often produced in smaller quantities compared to ferrous metals, carry significantly higher value in the scrap market. Recycling them conserves natural resources, saves energy, and reduces the environmental footprint of industries.

Why Selling Metal Scrap Makes Sense

Industries often underestimate the financial and operational benefits of selling metal scrap. Instead of letting unused material pile up, selling scrap regularly ensures:

• Space Optimization – Free up valuable floor space in factories, warehouses, and workshops.

• Cash Flow – Convert waste into immediate working capital.

• Safety & Compliance – Reduce hazards caused by sharp, bulky, or heavy scrap.

• Sustainability – Contribute to the circular economy by ensuring metals are recycled and reused.
