Our Commitment
At ScrapTrade we dont do slogans we do measurable change. As a global B2B scrap metal marketplace headquartered in Australia, our commitment is to turn honest trading into real environmental outcomes: more material recirculated, fewer virgin resources mined, and robust data you can rely on.
What we promise
- Transparency first. Every verified trade contributes to our aggregated, auditable impact dataset. We publish methodology, assumptions and data-quality flags so numbers are traceable. (See our full reporting approach: Sustainability Impact Reporting.)
- Conservative, evidence-based claims. We use peer-reviewed and industry-standard emission and energy factors never boost factors. External frameworks (eg. OECD circular economy guidance) inform our approach.
- Verification & traceability. Trades with full documentation are flagged verified. We retain records for audits and third-party checks for a minimum of 7 years.
- Compliance & safety. Users must meet legal, safety and export/import obligations well help with verification, but responsibility for permits and hazardous-material rules stays with the trading parties. See Legal & Compliance.
- Partnering for scale. We work with logistics, technical and verifier partners so verification, shipment data and impact calculations improve over time.
- Continuous improvement. Factors, models and reporting cadence are reviewed annually or when authoritative science updates changes are logged in the methods appendix.
How this helps you
- Procurement teams get verified tonnes and tCO2e savings for Scope 3 reporting.
- Recyclers and yards get documented proof of circularity to sell up the chain.
- Investors and lenders see a defensible, auditable footprint tied to real trades.
Proof, not posture
If you want the math, well give it: methodology appendices, factor sources, and the sample calculations behind our dashboard. No jargon inflation just audited numbers and conservative assumptions.
