Buyers of copper and aluminium scrap in the European Union
Recycling
Smelters, secondary refineries, remelters, rod mills and plants with their own melting, as well as scrap processors and traders from the Companies register – by metal, scrap grade, distance from the shipping point and country. For each plant: the company, the type of buyer, the grades accepted according to documents, sources with their class and a general description of the shipment procedure.
A picture of the market – not a commercial recommendation. No prices, ratings or rankings; ordered by straight-line distance or alphabetically. Contact through the company website; the register holds no personal data.

Find a buyer
Choosing a metal shows all buyers of that metal in the register; a scrap grade narrows the list to plants whose documents name that grade. Shipping point – a click on the map, a NUTS 3 region or your browser location (it stays in the browser – it is not sent to the server).
Buyers
343 buyers
No shipping point – alphabetical order; distance and procedure appear once a shipping point is chosen.
Straight-line distance (great circle) from the shipping point – not road distance.

The list shows the first 150 of 343 buyers; the full result is in the export.
No buyers with these filters. A larger radius, the area “also GB, CH, NO, TR”, the type “both” or a search without a grade widens the list.
Export results:

The export contains the result for the filters in the address; distance only with a shipping point from a NUTS 3 region (a point from the map or from the browser is not sent to the server).
Shipment procedure
- Same country
- shipment within the country – national rules
- Other EU country
- shipment between EU Member States – green-listed scrap: Article 18 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1157, document in Annex VII
- Export from the EU
- export from the EU – provisions of Regulation (EU) 2024/1157 on exports from the Union and the rules of the country of import
The description of the shipment procedure is general and does not constitute legal advice. Legal status as of 20 October 2026: Regulation (EU) 2024/1157 of the European Parliament and of the Council on shipments of waste. The classification of the waste and the obligations of the parties are determined case by case.

Rules
- Buyer from the Companies register
- A scrap buyer is a register plant in a smelting link (smelter, secondary refinery, ingot caster, rod mill) or a processing link (recycling, shredding, granulation, e-waste recycling), with copper or aluminium, not closed, in the EU-27 or – as an option – in the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Norway and Türkiye.
- Semi-finished product plants and foundries
- Rolling mills, wire drawing plants, extrusion plants and foundries with copper or aluminium are “smelter” buyers: scrap intake is inferred from the type of plant, not from a document – marked and can be excluded with a filter.
- Grade only from a document
- A grade entry for a plant exists only when a primary document (purchase page, grade list, permit with waste codes, register) names the grade, the waste code or the scrap CN code for that plant. A general “we buy scrap” without the metal is not an entry.
- Distance
- Distance is the straight-line (great-circle) distance from the shipping point; it is not road distance or transport cost.
- Unit value
- The trade unit value (EUR/t) comes from Comext trade declarations – it approximates the price level and is not a market price. The portal publishes no price agency or LME quotations.
- Procedure
- The description of the shipment procedure is general, with the legal act and the date of the legal status – it is not legal advice.
- Picture of the market
- The list of buyers is a picture of the market – not a commercial recommendation; no rankings, ratings or personal data.
