Naval bronze, duplex, titanium and high-nickel components where the destination matters as much as the rate. Documented chain of custody from your gate to a named downstream facility.

Why provenance matters here
For this work, where it went
matters as much as what it made.
Defence and marine disposals carry obligations a normal scrap sale does not. Controlled components need a demonstrable destruction or recovery path, and “sold to a broker” is not an answer that survives an audit. Every consignment we take is weighed, assayed and dispatched to a facility we name on the paperwork, with originals retained for seven years.

Our Process
How It Works
From the disposal authority to the retained originals, every step is built so the paper trail survives an audit as well as the metal survives the furnace.
Written disposal authority sighted and referenced before anything is booked. Nothing moves on a verbal.
Pre-start · Paperwork firstSealed containers to your gate, collected under our own consignment number so custody never changes hands informally.
100% · Every consignmentXRF and PMI by alloy family, then each weighed as its own line on a 60-tonne NMI-certified weighbridge.
60T · NMI-certifiedEFT within 48 hours of sign-off, with the downstream facility named on the paperwork and originals retained for seven years.

of consignments referenced
Every consignment is booked against your own disposal authority and reference number before a truck is arranged, so the chain of custody starts on your paperwork rather than ours.
- Written disposal authority sighted first
- Booked under your reference
- Nothing collected on a verbal
1 custodian
from your gate to the yard
The load travels under one consignment number with one carrier. No transfer yards, no intermediate handling, no point where the trail goes quiet.
- Sealed containers supplied
- One carrier, one consignment number
- No intermediate handling
60T
NMI-certified weighbridge
Bronze, duplex, titanium and high-nickel each carry different recoverable value. Each is graded and weighed on its own line, photographed and ticketed against your reference.
- PMI and XRF by alloy family
- Each alloy weighed as its own line
- Photographed and ticketed before sort
7 years
originals retained
The traceability PDF names the facility the material went to, not a category. Originals stay on file for seven years so a later audit has something to read.
- Downstream facility named, not categorised
- Originals retained for seven years
- EFT within 48 hours of sign-off

Retained
Seven years
Named downstream facility on the paperwork, originals kept on file.
ESG & responsible sourcing
Disposal that counts on your report.
Nickel, titanium and copper all sit on Australia’s critical-minerals list. Recovering them from a refit or a decommissioning keeps the metal in the domestic supply chain and gives the disposal a defensible environmental record as well as a compliant one.
~85%
Less embedded CO₂
Secondary nickel emits a small fraction of the embedded carbon of primary extraction, smelting and refining.
