What Our Community Members Say

TradeScrap.org has completely changed how I run my business. I used to rely on three local buyers—now I have access to international markets through Scrap Trade Online. My average copper prices increased 22% in the first six months.

Ahmed K.

Scrap Dealer, Dubai, UAE

The community forum is invaluable. When Australia updated scrap metal regulations, members shared compliance strategies that saved me weeks of research. This network is worth its weight in gold—or should I say, copper!

Sarah M.

Operations Manager, Melbourne, Australia

I started with zero knowledge about scrap trading. The TradeScrap educational courses taught me material grading, pricing strategies, and platform usage. Within three months, I closed my first $15,000 deal.

Carlos R.

New Trader, São Paulo, Brazil

The networking events connected me with a steel processor who became our largest customer. TradeScrap isn’t just a community—it’s a business accelerator.
