Stainless Steel Scrap

Why do we recycle Stainless Steel Scrap?

Stainless steel is widely utilized in both domestic and industrial settings, making post-consumer material readily available. Given that new stainless steel production often integrates a portion of scrap, it’s crucial to link the supply of this stainless scrap back to end-users. This cycle facilitates the creation of new products, reducing reliance on global supply chains for raw materials. Major sources of stainless steel scrap for buyers include the marine industry, oil and gas sector, offshore platforms, chemical processing industries, and aerospace sector.

The typical grades we offer for Stainless Steel scrap recycling:

Nickel Alloys

SS301
SS304
SS309
SS310
SS316
SS321
SS330
Duplex 2304, 2205, 2507

300 series stainless steel is largely made up of Nickel, Chrome, Molybdenum, and Iron. Being resistant to water corrosion you often find these grades used in domestic appliances, construction, food & beverage industries, and other common industrial uses such as pulp and paper manufacturing.

Stainless Steel’s ability to be resistant to chemical and gas corrosion allows it to be used quite commonly within the oil and gas industry, in areas usually with high pressure and heat fluctuations.

Chrome Alloys

SS 409
SS 410
SS 430

400 series stainless steel is primarily an iron and chrome-based alloy. Commonly used in automobile manufacturing and industrial construction for its ability to withstand atmospheric corrosion.
