ScrapTrade.info is an independent information resource built to help people understand the terminology, grading systems, and purity concepts used to describe and price scrap metal, explained in plain language for people who aren’t metallurgists.
Why We Built This
Scrap grading and purity terminology can feel like a foreign language if you’re not in the industry — terms like “bare bright” or “#2 copper” get thrown around without explanation. We built this site to translate that terminology into plain language, so you understand what your material actually is before you sell it.
Part of the ScrapTrade Network
ScrapTrade.info is part of the ScrapTrade network — an online scrap trading marketplace connecting verified buyers and sellers of scrap metal, e-waste, batteries, and more. Where this site focuses on understanding terminology and grading, ScrapTrade is where you put that understanding to use: list your material, compare real offers, and get paid through secure escrow with transparent weighing.
What We’re Not
We’re not a scrap buyer, testing lab, or certification body, and we don’t handle transactions directly through this site — this is an information resource. For the actual buying and selling, head to ScrapTrade.
Understanding grading and purity terminology helps you know what your material is actually worth. ScrapTrade connects verified buyers and sellers with transparent weighing and escrow-protected payments.
