4000 years of international trade behind us
However it was after World War II, when raw materials were scarce, that the global trade in recycled metals grew in importance and at a phenomenal rate.
Since then, the international market in recycled metals has expanded rapidly. This is due to the increasing demand for finished products and mass consumerism, combined with a new era of awareness to conserve resources, to reduce our impact on the environment, to re-use, to recycle.
Today, the global recycling industry is thriving
Nortrade International is a leader in the field, handling and supplying raw materials worldwide arising 100% from waste, what was once tipped into landfill, is now collected and processed, what was once left as eye-sores or buried underground is now a valuable commodity resource creating jobs, new industries and reducing scar tissue on our planet’s surface. It is a true win – win, a no-brainer! an indisputable solution for the global community and the environment… sorry but we do get excited about what we do and strive always to achieve.
Growth in the international trade of recycled steel scrap has been astounding
Almost 40 per cent of the world’s steel production comes from steel scrap, and this figure is growing.
Nortrade International navigates this complex marketplace on behalf of its partners. We not only help businesses identify the best commercial opportunities, but promote the most environmentally friendly use of resources.
