The world of metals is evolving, and so are we. What you’ve known as our scrap and secondary pillar is now rebranded as metals recycling – a name that better reflects the dynamic, technology-driven industry it represents today. This change underscores our commitment to staying ahead of industry trends and supporting a sector that’s critical to the circular economy and sustainable supply chains.
Metals recycling is no longer just about scrap. It’s a process that plays a vital role in global sustainability efforts.
While the name has evolved, our trusted methodologies, pricing processes and benchmarks remain unchanged. Fastmarkets continues to deliver the same reliable data, analysis and insights that you’ve come to depend on. Our market reflective price data, news and forecasts combine the commodity intelligence of familiar names like Metal Bulletin, American Metal Market, Scrap Price Bulletin and Industrial Minerals.
