Scrap steel is a critical secondary raw material for steel mills, foundries, and downstream metal processors. Sourced primarily from post-consumer and post-industrial streams, it provides a cost-efficient alternative to virgin iron ore while reducing environmental impact. Buyers in industries such as construction, automotive, and heavy machinery rely on consistent scrap supply to stabilize production cycles and manage costs.
This import-grade scrap is typically aggregated from Canadian dismantling, demolition, and manufacturing sources. It arrives in mixed formats and is often upgraded via shearing, sorting, and baling to meet end-user specifications. Purity levels and contamination rates vary by source, so pre-shipment inspection and certification are recommended.
Available in bulk loads via container, loose truck, or rail car depending on volume and origin. Quality consistency is ensured through visual and magnetic separation at origin, with further refinement possible on request. Buyers should align grade expectations with downstream processing capabilities to avoid additional handling or re-melting costs.
Best suited for:
Not ideal for:
This mixed scrap grade offers lower cost per ton than prime industrial scrap but may require additional processing to meet stringent chemistry targets. Compared to shredded automotive scrap, it typically contains less copper and tin contamination, improving melt efficiency.
Pricing scales with order size and frequency. Discounts are common above bulk thresholds; request a custom quote based on your monthly or annual volume commitment. Smaller lots may incur surcharges for sorting and handling.
TQM Energy Consultants Inc. is a Canada-based trader and exporter specializing in ferrous scrap sourcing and logistics. With over 15 years in the sector, they aggregate material from certified dismantlers and industrial generators across eastern and central Canada.
They operate under ISO 9001 quality management systems and maintain a network of processing partners to meet buyer specifications. All shipments are accompanied by origin documentation and compliance declarations as required by import regulations. Buyers are encouraged to audit facilities and review upstream sourcing practices before large-volume commitments.
Typical targets are copper below 0.3% and tin below 0.05% by weight. Excessive levels can affect steel quality and require dilution with higher-grade scrap. Confirm with supplier for exact analysis per lot.
Yes, if the size and contamination levels meet your furnace requirements. Smaller shredded material is ideal for EAF feed. Larger sheared pieces may require pre-shredding or preheating. Confirm with supplier for furnace compatibility.
Shipments include a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) with base chemistry, bale weight tickets, and origin compliance statement. Additional documentation such as import permits or environmental declarations may be required depending on destination.
Primarily from a mix of post-industrial manufacturing offcuts and demolition scrap. The supplier maintains a diversified sourcing network to balance supply stability and quality consistency.
Suppliers aim for <1% moisture by weight. Covered storage and tarp-covered transport are standard. Buyers should re-check moisture levels upon arrival, especially after extended transit in humid climates.
Non-ferrous metals (copper, aluminum, zinc), organics (plastic, rubber), and excessive rust or coatings. These reduce yield, increase energy use, and can cause operational issues in furnaces.
It aligns with common trade standards like ASTM A39 and EU 301/2015, but final acceptance depends on buyer-specific chemistry targets and local regulations. Review import requirements with your compliance team before ordering.
Bale density is typically measured in kg/m³ and affects both freight cost and melt efficiency. Higher-density bales improve furnace charging and reduce energy loss. Target density is usually 1.8 - 2.0 t/m³ for EAF feed.
