Buy and sell metal materials
Metals are used throughout construction, manufacturing, automotive, electronics and many other industries. Production scrap, demolition materials, machining residues and end-of-life products can often be processed into valuable secondary raw materials.
APT connects companies offering metal scrap and secondary metal streams with recyclers, processors and industrial buyers.

Detailed specifications make it easier for potential buyers to assess processing requirements and material value.
Metal recycling and recovery
Many metals can be recycled repeatedly while retaining useful material properties. Depending on the type and quality, recovered metals can return to a wide range of industrial applications.
Possible recycling routes include:
- Remelting
- Alloy recovery
- Foundry applications
- Steel production
- Aluminium production
- Copper refining
- Metal separation
- Precious and specialty metal recovery
- Direct reuse of components
- Processing into new semi-finished products
Well-sorted and accurately identified metal streams generally offer more opportunities for high-value recycling.
Keep metals in circulation
Recovering and recycling metals reduces demand for primary ores and helps retain valuable materials within industrial supply chains.
APT helps connect suppliers, recyclers and buyers so metal scrap and secondary metal streams can find suitable destinations for reuse, recovery and new production.
