Global Expansion
Rare Metal Scrap Procurement: Leveraging Decades of Expertise and Global Networks
Leveraging over 50 years of track record in scrap handling and our extensive domestic and international networks,
we purchase a wide variety of scraps, including rare metals.
There is still value sleeping in that [waste]! We purchase the low-grade scrap that other companies turn away.
Point 01
Handling a wide range of items through our own sales channels
Rather than lumping everything together as "low-grade" or "full of impurities," we analyze each item to identify its detailed content ratios, accurately assess its value, and purchase at high prices. With sales channels not only in Japan but around the world, we sell scrap from any country to recycling destinations suited to its composition.
Point 02
The capability to handle any shape
In addition to solid scrap, we can also purchase powders and sludge scrap that other companies cannot, owing to the risk of scattering and unstable grade. With packing and transport know-how cultivated over many years, we handle any shape.
Point 03
Compliance with laws and regulations
Even for scrap containing hazardous components, we comply with laws and regulations through deep knowledge of Japan's Waste Management Act based on our long track record, together with our capability to handle the complex procedures of the Basel Convention.
Examples of materials we can handle
- Nickel & chromium types
- Inconel, catalysts, sludge, black mass, etc.
- Molybdenum & titanium types
- Chamber scrap, target materials, offcuts, various powders, etc.
- Cemented carbide & special steel
- Carbide tips, end mills, cermet, grinding powder, etc.
- Other
- Solar panel cell sheets, etc.
*We can also purchase metals and materials not listed in the table above, so please feel free to contact us.
