Lagos, Nigeria — formal recycling & materials recovery
Formal offtake. Grade by stream.
Document the load.
Institutional scrap — from factories, banks, insurers and agencies — usually moves secondhand, through informal chains, for a single lump price. We grade it by composition, handle it discreetly, and settle as a documented company.
Scrap from institutional events deserves better than a cash deal with no paper trail.
Four problems we were built to fix.
Lump bids destroy value
A single “highest bidder” price on a mixed load leaves money on the table. Value is in grading each stream — steel, copper, aluminium, plastics — on its own terms.
Sensitive material needs discretion
Branded goods, customer paperwork, decommissioned assets — sellers need a counterparty who won’t let material resurface in the wrong place.
It arrives secondhand
Much of this volume reaches operators only after informal chains — cash, no invoice, no composition pricing.
Cable reject is burned, not separated
Reject and off-spec cable typically goes to traders who burn the insulation for copper — destroying plastic value in the process.
How material moves through ScrapCycle
One formal channel, from pickup to documented settlement.
We buy direct
Industrial offcuts, bank and insurer recovery, agency disposal, manufacturer reject — sourced and funded as a company, not a middleman relay.
Priced by composition
Professional valuers break a mixed load into real streams. Sellers see recovery by what’s inside, not one flat number.
Crushed, not burned
Cable and insulation through crushing and separation — copper rice at smelter-grade premium, plastic kept sellable, nothing open-burned.
Settled as Ltd
Invoices, load records, and ESG diversion packs on request — a counterparty you can put on a vendor list.
Who we work with
Industry, banks, insurers, agencies and manufacturers who need formal offtake.
Industry
Ongoing production scrap, offcuts and reject. Best value per stream, plus ESG offtake packs.
Banks & insurers
Loan-recovery assets and salvage. A documented buyer for sensitive, branded or bulk material.
Government & agencies
Formal disposal pathways and material put up for bid — with the paperwork institutions need.
Manufacturers
Cable and insulation reject recovered through separation, not burned — better yield, documented offtake.
Discretion is the first thing institutional sellers test — before price.
We’ve already passed that test.
“A facility contact asked directly whether discarded material would be visible outside before agreeing to sell. We handled the disposal discreetly, as committed.”
— Engagement with a beverage manufacturer, Lagos“We purchased scrap assets directly from a bank branch, and destroyed sensitive customer paperwork as agreed — the condition that mattered most to them.”
— Engagement with a commercial bank branch, LagosWe also supply industrial clients including Nivea, and operate within a Lagos State Ministry of Health pathway. Transaction records and references available on request.
