Our Commitment

At ScrapTrade we don’t 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 — we’ll 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, we’ll give it: methodology appendices, factor sources, and the sample calculations behind our dashboard. No jargon inflation — just audited numbers and conservative assumptions.
