Srap Metal

[thewave xmas ed']

Anyone know where you could source 15,000 tonnes of decent scrap metal?

Per month

India?

All those ships go there for scrapping don't they?

Ideally I'd like to source the metal in the UK and ship to Pakistan.

If anyone knows of anywhere I could source this, not necessarily the full amount, that would be useful.

ok this sounds interesting... what for? Can I ask?

Purely and simply a trading transaction.

The contact in Pakistan wants between 10,000 and 20,000 tonnes of scrap metal per month, however the scrap, needs to be 'decent'. We would also need a quality control, to ensure no crap is thrown in the containers to make up weight. Items such as cars etc are put through an industrial cycle and the rust and paint etc are removed, the resultant srap is small pieces of rounded metal. I would also require knowledge of companies that do this if I can source raw scrap too.

One of my partners has already sourced someone for purchasing, so we will have someone on the road shortly, but If anyone knows of a direct route, it would be useful, as I think we'll stuggle to source so much, but there's potentially much more available if we can handle what he wants.
