South Africa in the Global Melting Scrap Trade
South Africa has the most developed metals recycling industry on the continent, with century-old processors in Cape Town and Johannesburg feeding domestic mills and the export trade. Scrap export policy — permits and pricing rules — is a recurring theme for the sector.
The melt side spans carbon steel in Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal, stainless at Middelburg, and aluminium rolling and alloying that runs substantially on recycled feed.

📈 Metal Prices & Exchanges
Melting scrap itself does not trade on any exchange. Its price is calculated by traders against the underlying metal prices on the major exchanges, with adjustments for grade and condition.

Philippine scrap has traditionally priced against East Asian containerized export benchmarks; growing domestic EAF demand increasingly sets local buying prices.
