Australia — The Australian scrap and recycling sector is experiencing a structural shift as digital technology begins to reshape how scrap materials are traded nationwide. ScrapTrade, an Australian-built digital marketplace for scrap commerce, is helping modernise the industry by introducing a transparent, verified, and compliance-driven trading environment designed for long-term sector stability and growth.
The scrap industry plays a vital role in Australia’s resource recovery ecosystem and circular economy strategy. However, the sector has historically faced operational challenges including fragmented regional markets, inconsistent pricing visibility, limited access to verified trading partners, and transaction risks caused by informal trading processes. ScrapTrade has been developed specifically to address these systemic inefficiencies by providing structured digital infrastructure tailored to scrap industry requirements.
Operating across Australia, ScrapTrade supports multiple scrap material categories and connects a broad network of participants including scrap yards, recycling facilities, demolition contractors, manufacturers, commercial businesses, and independent suppliers. The platform enables users to access national market opportunities while maintaining compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.
ScrapTrade is owned and operated by MOBEIUS TECHNOLOGIES PTY LTD, a fully registered Australian company. The platform operates under strict governance and compliance frameworks aligned with Australian business and trade regulations, reinforcing confidence among platform participants and supporting responsible industry practices.
The platform has been built on four foundational pillars that guide its development and operation:
Transparency — ScrapTrade improves visibility across pricing, market demand, and transaction activity, enabling more informed decision-making across the supply chain.
Trust and Verification — Verified participant onboarding helps reduce counterparty risk while strengthening confidence in digital scrap transactions.
Compliance and Governance — Structured transaction workflows support lawful trade practices, documentation requirements, and audit-ready processes.
Fair Market Access — The platform reduces information asymmetry and dependency on traditional intermediaries by enabling direct, structured buyer and seller connections.
ScrapTrade operates strictly as a neutral digital marketplace and does not engage in the buying or selling of scrap materials. Instead, the platform provides the digital infrastructure required for industry participants to transact securely, efficiently, and transparently at scale.
The growth of digital trading infrastructure comes at a critical time as Australia increases focus on circular economy targets, sustainability reporting, and responsible resource management. By improving traceability, transaction transparency, and data-driven market access, ScrapTrade supports stronger recycling outcomes and more efficient material recovery across industries.
Looking ahead, ScrapTrade continues to invest in platform development to support evolving industry needs. Key focus areas include enhanced governance systems, advanced data reporting capabilities, high-volume transaction scalability, improved user experience for industrial participants, and alignment with future regulatory and environmental frameworks.
ScrapTrade’s long-term vision is to help establish a modern, transparent, and nationally connected scrap trading ecosystem that supports economic efficiency, environmental sustainability, and fair market participation across Australia’s resource recovery sector.
