AceComex works with suitable UK yards and merchants offering processed ferrous and non-ferrous material for export to international consumers.

Processed scrap metal stockpiles typical of supply from the United Kingdom

AceComex and the United Kingdom

The United Kingdom has a long-established merchant and processing network, with strong regulatory oversight of scrap handling and export. Material is generally well documented, and licensed operators are accustomed to the compliance requirements that international movements involve.

AceComex reviews UK offers on grade, packing, loading position and export documentation. We do not operate yards, offices or facilities in the United Kingdom.

Where opportunities typically arise

  • Processed ferrous from licensed merchant yards
  • Copper grades from cable processing and electrical arisings
  • Aluminium extrusion, sheet and wheels
  • Stainless steel from fabrication and process industries
  • Brass from plumbing, engineering and fittings sources
  • Baled non-ferrous from organised collection operations

Practical considerations

  • Licensed operator status and waste-carrier compliance
  • Export documentation and any applicable notification requirements
  • Container haulage and port selection across UK terminals
  • Weather protection for baled material during accumulation
  • Consistency of grade between loads
  • Inspection access at the yard prior to loading
