Scrap refers to materials that have completed their useful life or are surplus from production, no longer functional, but recyclable. The concept of scrap is quite broad; however, metal scrap is the most valuable for the industry. This is because metals can be recycled many times without losing their physical and chemical properties.
Metal scraps include materials like steel, iron, copper, aluminum, stainless steel, lead, and zinc. These metals are commonly used in production lines, construction projects, the automotive industry, and in the manufacturing of household appliances and machinery. Waste parts that arise during production or products that have lost their function after use become metal scrap .
Metal scraps are generally categorized as follows:
• Ferrous Metals: These are metals like iron and steel, which are magnetic and frequently used as construction materials.
• Non-Ferrous Metals: These include lighter and more conductive metals like aluminum, copper, brass, and zinc.
At Hasçelik, we continue the value journey of steel not only through production but also through recycling. Especially with the environmentally friendly approaches in our new steel plant, the strategic importance of scrap in production is increasing. Recycled scrap steel is one of the fundamental elements of high-quality and environmentally sensitive production. For us, scrap is not only an economic resource but also essential for reducing our carbon footprint, saving energy, and adhering to sustainable production principles.
Scrap purchasing prices reflect the value of used metals in the recycling market. At Hasçelik, we understand that scrap is not just waste but an important raw material in the journey of steel. Especially in our new steel plant, scrap steel plays a critical role in our environmentally friendly steel production processes. Recycled scrap materials are necessary for producing high-quality steel. Therefore, scrap prices are not only an economic indicator but also an important reflection of environmental sustainability. We regularly share lists of scrap metal prices , including daily scrap iron and scrap steel prices.
Hasçelik determines scrap prices by considering a range of factors, taking into account both competitive industry conditions and environmental sustainability. The determination of current scrap prices can vary depending on not only market conditions but also production efficiency, exchange rates, and global economic fluctuations. At Hasçelik, we carefully analyze these factors to provide accurate and fair prices.
Scrap steel prices , like those in other trading sectors, are shaped by the balance between supply and demand. If the supply of scrap is high but demand is low, prices may fall. Conversely, when demand increases, prices may rise. We continuously monitor the global scrap market and update our prices based on real-time changes. This allows us to offer competitive and stable prices to both our suppliers and customers.
Hasçelik is aware that scrap prices are directly related to exchange rates in both local and international scrap markets. Especially the USD/TRY exchange rate is a significant determinant in globally trade-based sectors like steel and metals. Since scrap buying and selling is often linked to international trade, fluctuations in exchange rates can affect prices. Hasçelik adapts quickly to these changes and optimizes its pricing strategies.
The price of scrap varies based on the type and quality of the metals. Ferrous metals, such as steel, and non-ferrous metals like aluminum, copper, and zinc are recycled according to different pricing criteria. Hasçelik conducts purchases by categorizing all types of scrap steel, ensuring that even non-ferrous scraps are bought at high quality. This quality difference is an influential factor in determining scrap prices. For example, pure and processed scrap steel generally holds a higher value compared to mixed metal waste. Similarly, the carbon content and quality of the steel will lead to price differences between iron scrap and steel scrap.
The amount of energy used in scrap recycling and production costs play a significant role in determining prices. At Hasçelik, we operate in line with environmental goals, such as energy saving and reducing carbon emissions, by using recycled materials in steel production. However, when energy costs rise, it may impact scrap prices.
Steel is widely used across the globe in industries such as construction, automotive, machinery production, and other sectors. The increased demand in these industries directly impacts the value of scrap steel. Hasçelik closely monitors global production and demand trends, adapting swiftly to market changes.
In summary, Hasçelik's scrap prices are based not only on market conditions and global economic factors but also on our environmental responsibility and sustainability principles. By maintaining this balance, we continue to offer fair and competitive prices to the companies from which we purchase scrap. Additionally, you can find the current scrap prices on our website.
Steel scrap prices play a decisive role in the trade of scrap materials, which are among the most valuable recyclable materials in the steel industry. Steel scrap is obtained from steel materials that have been used in the production process, have reached the end of their life cycle, or are surplus, and are processed for reuse. At Hasçelik, we consider various factors such as quality, type, and classification when pricing all types of steel scrap.
The scrap market is shaped by supply and demand balance, exchange rates, global steel prices, and regional demands. Especially for iron and steel producers, the price of scrap iron, which is a strategic raw material, is frequently updated. Scrap metal prices are sometimes announced per kilogram or per ton.
Steel scrap prices vary depending on the material's quality, purity, and processing status. Steel scrap is typically categorized into DKP, Extra, 1st Class, and 2nd Class categories. These classifications determine the suitability of each type of steel scrap for recycling and reuse. We share updated scrap iron and steel prices regularly.
The steel scrap purchase process is an important step for corporate buyers like Hasçelik. There are several factors to consider when purchasing scrap, which are crucial for increasing transaction security, setting correct prices, and ensuring an efficient recycling process. Here are the key points we pay attention to during the scrap purchasing process at Hasçelik:
When purchasing scrap, classifying the scrap correctly and determining its quality plays a critical role in both pricing and the process. At Hasçelik, we categorize scrap materials into distinct quality categories such as DKP scrap price, Extra, 1st Group, and 2nd Group. Proper classification of the scrap helps in offering the correct price. Sellers must accurately label and share the type of scrap with us.
One of the most important factors in scrap purchasing is accurately determining the quantity of the scrap. Clearly specifying the quantity ensures both parties receive the correct price. At Hasçelik, we perform precise weighing and measuring during scrap purchases. Sellers should accurately determine the scrap quantity and pack it appropriately. Incorrect declarations of quantity can cause delays in the process.
Steel scrap prices fluctuate based on market conditions and various economic factors. Hasçelik determines and announces prices based on current market conditions. Scrap sellers should ensure that the scrap prices are current and correct. Sellers can follow Hasçelik's price announcements to check and make decisions based on them.
It is crucial to comply with legal requirements in the scrap purchasing process. At Hasçelik, we request official documents and necessary paperwork for all transactions. Sellers should ensure that the documents (invoice, delivery note, etc.) used in the scrap sale are properly prepared and complete. Missing or incorrect documents may delay or complicate the purchasing process.
At Hasçelik, we ensure clarity at every stage of the scrap purchasing process. Our partner companies should be informed in advance about details such as the delivery method, weighing, and payment terms for the scrap. It is also important to establish the agreed price and payment terms before the scrap is delivered. Hasçelik maintains transparency throughout the entire purchasing process and communicates with buyers at every stage.
Clean scrap material is more efficient and valuable in the recycling process. Dirty and mixed scrap can create challenges during processing and recycling. Hasçelik prefers to purchase clean and pure scrap, which can be bought and processed at higher prices. Sellers should clean their scrap and remove any impurities to ensure a more efficient recycling process for both parties.
As you know, there are many places and companies in Turkey that buy scrap. The key factors to consider when selling scrap include quality determination, proper pricing, legal documents, and reliable payment terms. At Hasçelik, we ensure transparency, trust, and quality throughout all our purchasing processes, providing the most efficient and secure operations. Scrap sellers should consider Hasçelik's pricing and purchasing conditions.
In summary, in scrap buying and selling, it is essential to track the current scrap iron and steel per kilogram prices, but also crucial to ensure proper classification and legal documentation.
At Hasçelik, the scrap recycling process, which is one of the cornerstones of our sustainability principle in steel production, is carried out with high efficiency at our Bilecik Osmaneli Steel Mill, equipped with modern technology. This process not only ensures the supply of raw materials but also encompasses our environmental responsibility in a closed-loop cycle. Here are the stages of Hasçelik's scrap recycling process:
At Hasçelik, we source our scrap needs from both local and national suppliers, establishing a transparent relationship with the market through our daily scrap price list. Suppliers send scrap based on classifications such as DKP, Extra, 1st Class, and 2nd Class. Our purchases are evaluated and accepted according to quality and classification.
Every scrap load that arrives at our Osmaneli facility is meticulously inspected by our entry control teams for quality, type, and mass. The incoming material:
