HOW WE DO OUR PRICING?

When it comes to pricing the metals we buy, there are several factors that might influence the process, including:

  • Metal grade: Each metal has a variety of grades and is designed for a certain use.

  • Market price: The metal's commodity price might fluctuate many times every day, depending on supply and demand, commodity trade, and currency exchange rate fluctuations.

  • Metal state: Pricing also depends on whether the metal has been adequately separated and cleansed of other metals or impurities such as plastic or insulation remain.
