Sustainability & Circular Economy Messaging for World Scrap Recycling

We support transforming recyclable commodities into global resources — connecting Australian industries, farms, and communities to a circular and sustainable future.

World Scrap Recycling

Driving a Circular Future Through Responsible Trade

At World Scrap Recycling, sustainability is not a slogan — it is the foundation of our business. We support our partners to operate at the intersection of resource recovery, renewable feedstock supply, and global recycling, ensuring that valuable materials never end up as waste but re-enter the production cycle as new, high-quality raw materials. Through strategic sourcing, responsible processing, and international trading, we enable industries worldwide to reduce carbon emissions, protect natural resources, and contribute to a more circular global economy.

Circular Economy Statement

We believe every material has a second life. Our support ensures recyclable commodities from Australia — whether metal, agricultural plastics, used cooking oil, or used fuel oil — are captured, cleaned, processed, and redirected back into manufacturing supply chains worldwide.

Reduce reliance on virgin raw materials

Cut greenhouse gas emissions

Extend the life cycle of industrial and agricultural resources

Support renewable and low-carbon manufacturing

Recycle / Recover / Reuse

This model guides our decisions, partners, and processes—ensuring sustainability is embedded in every step.

RECYCLE

We support collect, process, and prepare recyclable materials

—Including metals, agricultural plastics, timber waste, biomass, rubber, used oils, and industrial by-products
—For advanced recycling.
These materials are transformed into new, high-quality products such as steel billets, recycled plastics, re-refined base oils, renewable fuels, and sustainable building materials.

RECOVER

We support to recover valuable resources from materials that would typically be lost to landfill, burn-offs, or contamination.
-Recovering metals from mixed scrap
-Recovering renewable energy feedstocks such as used cooking oil
-Recovering industrial oils for re-refining
-Recovering agricultural resources and redirecting them to global markets

Through recovery, we protect natural resources and turn waste streams into economic opportunities.

REUSE

Wherever possible, we support to extend the life cycle of materials by supporting direct reuse.

-Reusable metal components
-Reusable industrial containers and pallets
-UCO reused as feedstock for biodiesel and sustainable aviation fuel
-Agricultural materials reused before final processing

This creates an additional sustainability benefit before materials enter the recycling process.

This model ensures our operations support both local communities and global sustainability goals.

Material-Specific Sustainability Messaging

Scrap Metal Recycling

Recycling metal saves 90–95% of energy compared to producing metal from ore. Our export-grade metal scrap helps international smelters lower emissions and reduce reliance on mining.

Used Fuel Oil / Industrial Oil

We divert filtered & processed used fuel oils from soil and waterways and supply them to processors who convert them into re-refined base oils or energy recovery products.

Used Cooking Oil (UCO)

UCO is a key feedstock for renewable biodiesel and SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel). By exporting Australia’s clean UCO stream, we help global fuel producers decarbonise transport.
