US → India — Scrap Division

Complex Alloy Scrap.
Placed Right. Handed Over Clean.

Superalloys, Ni/Co/Ti, mixed-chemistry streams — material that needs chemistry validation, buyer alignment, and accountable delivery. Not standard trading.

What We Trade

The Scrap That Doesn’t Fit
Standard Channels

For material where chemistry, variability, or contamination risk makes standard placement unreliable.

Material Types
  • Superalloy scrap — Ni-base, Co-base, complex returns
  • Titanium scrap — mixed grades, turnings, variable alloy
  • Refractory metals — W, Mo, Ta, Nb-bearing streams
  • Mixed-chemistry lots — commingled or poorly documented
  • Metal-bearing residues — catalyst, grindings, sludge
When This Fits
  • Chemistry requires validation before placement
  • Domestic options are limited or uneconomical
  • Buyer acceptance needs explicit upfront alignment
  • Prior history of downgrades, disputes, or renegotiation
Standard scrap that places easily? That’s not what this division is for.

The Problem

Why Complex Scrap Breaks
Traditional Trading

Trading assumes obvious chemistry, standardized grades, and responsibility ending at shipment. Complex scrap violates all three.

Where It Breaks
  • Chemistry treated as a footnote — inferred, not validated
  • Acceptance left implicit — assumed until receipt
  • Responsibility stops at the dock — fragments after shipment
  • Disputes replace decisions — late surprises trigger claims
What Recovery Plants Need
  • Early clarity on chemistry and variability range
  • Explicit acceptance logic agreed before movement
  • Recovery-ready delivery with matching documentation
  • One counterparty accountable through handover
Our Scope

What We Own — and Where
We Draw the Line

We own alignment to clean handover. Physical handling is done by generators, yards, and partners.

We Own
  • Material identification & source context
  • Chemistry validation & acceptance alignment
  • Segregation requirements & readiness checkpoints
  • Documentation matched to material reality
  • Delivery oversight & clean handover at receipt
We Don’t
  • Melt, blend, or physically process scrap
  • Assume metallurgical responsibility post-handover
  • Guarantee recovery yield beyond aligned expectations
  • Trade without chemistry and acceptance clarity
Our Process

How a Scrap Trade Works,
Step by Step

Sequenced to surface risk early. Value is preserved — or lost — before shipment.

Step 1

Material Review & Context

Assess source, chemistry variability, contamination risks, and recovery constraints.

Step 2

Buyer Selection & Acceptance Alignment

Align chemistry ranges, tolerance, contamination limits, and recovery expectations before movement.

Step 3

Segregation & Preparation

Define requirements and verify readiness. Operating parties execute; we verify.

Step 4

Shipment & Oversight

Coordinate scheduling and maintain alignment through transit.

Step 5

Receipt & Clean Handover

Confirm delivery against expectations. Support early resolution. Ownership ends here.

Fit Check

Is This Right for You?

Good Fit
  • US generators & yards with alloyed or mixed-chemistry scrap
  • Indian recovery plants that prefer clarity over post-arrival renegotiation
  • Streams with variability, contamination risk, or dispute history
Not a Fit
  • Clean, single-grade commodity scrap
  • Index-linked trades with no post-shipment accountability
  • Price-only or arbitrage-only objectives
