Same brand, same data ethics, three different ways to show a mining customer that their offcuts move the needle on a Scope 3 report.
We weigh what comes off your site and convert it to embedded-CO2e avoided using AusLCI factors. The ledger updates monthly – you cite it line-by-line in your sustainability report.
Every kilogram comes from a Western Australian site we drove to. No imported scrap, no offshore re-handling, no conflict-mineral exposure. Your due-diligence chain starts at your gate and ends at a certified Australian smelter.
Each load is weighed on a 60-tonne NMI-certified weighbridge and assayed on site before the tonnage enters your ESG ledger. Estimated figures are explicitly flagged as such.
EVIDENCE:EVIDENCE: weighbridge ticket #W-XXXX . assay record #A-XXXXNo broker chain, no offshore re-handling. The certified Australian smelter or re-roller receiving the material appears in the traceability PDF that lands with your EFT confirmation.
EVIDENCE:EVIDENCE: dispatch consignment + receiving plant nameWe don't accept imported scrap into your recovery line. Every kilogram on your statement was sourced from an Australian site we drove to - no conflict-mineral exposure, no gap in your Modern Slavery Act due-diligence chain.

The carbide bit you stop sending to landfill carries embedded energy that already paid its emissions price. Re-using that tonne is structurally cheaper, cleaner and faster than mining a new one. Recovery isn’t a feel-good adjacency to your ESG report. It is the ESG report.
We don’t traffic in offshore scrap, conflict minerals, or paper traceability. Every kilogram came from a site we drove to, on a truck we know, into a yard we run. The chain of custody starts at your gate and ends at a smelter we can name.
We won’t quote a recovery figure we can’t weigh, an emissions saving we can’t source, or a destination we can’t put in writing. If we can’t prove it, we don’t claim it. That makes for shorter brochures and longer client relationships.

Yes, and you should. Recovered tonnage that displaces primary production is a category 1 input under GRI 306 and a recognised Scope 3 reduction lever under the GHG Protocol. We hand you the weighbridge tickets, the assay records and the destination smelter name. Your reporting team plugs those numbers straight into the disclosure.
Because we name the receiving plant on every dispatch note. Our material flows to certified Australian smelters and re-rollers, not to a containerised broker chain. If a load ever does go international, you’ll see the destination on the PDF before you sign anything.
Simple. We only accept scrap from Australian end-of-life operations. No imported feedstock, no anonymous broker tonnage. That eliminates the upstream labour risk that imported scrap streams carry, and it keeps your due-diligence statement honest.
A traceability PDF per load: collection address, weighbridge ticket, assay record, downstream destination, dispatch consignment. We keep the originals on file for seven years, so if your auditor asks for source documents, we can hand them over the same day.
Secondary carbide and alloy steel carry a fraction of the embedded carbon of primary mining and concentration. Every kilogram you divert to us is a kilogram you don't extract, transport, smelt or report on twice.
No imported scrap, no offshore re-handling. Your chain of custody starts at your gate.
Weighbridge ticket, assay record, dispatch consignment, receiving smelter named in writing.
NGER, GRI 306, ISO 14001 and ICMM principles, mapped to what we actually do on the floor.
Estimated tonnages are flagged as estimates. Smelter destinations not yet confirmed are flagged as pending. The numbers you report should be the numbers you can defend.
Recovery, provenance, traceability and compliance. Same four pillars, same questions, same answers – whether you turn over forty tonnes a year or four thousand.
We treat scrap as the cheapest tonne of carbon work you can do. Recovered carbide, alloy steel and copper displace primary extraction tonne-for-tonne, with a fraction of the embedded emissions.
Every kilogram is sourced from Australian end-of-life tooling or plant. No imported scrap, no offshore re-handling, no broker chain between your gate and the smelter.
One PDF per load with the full chain of custody. Weighbridge ticket, assay record, dispatch consignment, named receiving smelter. Originals kept on file for seven years.
Aligned to the frameworks your reporting team already uses. We map each part of the recovery chain to the specific clause it answers, so your disclosure team can cite us directly.
Mining scrap is full of materials on every critical-mineral list there is - tungsten carbide, manganese, chrome alloys, nickel, cobalt, copper. Recovery keeps those tonnes in the Australian supply chain, displaces primary extraction, and turns a disposal cost into a Scope 3 line item. Same ore body, second time around, a fraction of the carbon.
Secondary carbide and alloy steel emit a fraction of the embedded carbon of primary extraction and concentration.
Tungsten, cobalt, manganese and nickel re-enter Australian smelter feed instead of leaving as container scrap.
Tonnage, downstream destination, due-diligence trail and framework citation, on every traceability PDF.
