Study of Indian Scrap Industry with Special Focus on Channel Management & Integrated Scrap Management

Project Report on Scrap Industry
Scrap is a term used to describe recyclable materials left over from every manner of product consumption, such as parts of vehicles, building supplies, and surplus materials. Often confused with waste, scrap in fact has significant monetary value. Overall, the scrap industry processes more than 145,000,000 short tons (129,464,286 long tons; 131,541,787) of recyclable material each year into raw material feedstock for industrial manufacturing around the world.

The scarp industry is booming and it is a massive industry like steel industry. Most of scrap is recovered from old electric scrap, electronic equipment including computers, military equipment, jewelry etc. Scrap industry also covers the major recyclable materials, from metals to plastics, paper and pulp, rubber and glass.

The use of scrap instead of virgin ore has several advantages, significantly in energy savings. If one of the attractions of ferrous and nonferrous scrap is in energy savings, the other being price levels that are particularly attractive.

Not only the steel industry is large, but other base metals are also promising. In fact, around 40% of the world's need for copper is provided for by scrap. Using scrap not only reduces air pollution and water use, it also conserves natural resources. The greatest environmental benefit from using scrap, instead of virgin ore, is the reduction in greenhouse emissions. Recycling metals saves new energy use by the mining industry.

Whether or not base metal, there will always be a need for scrap metal. With energy looking to remain costly and concern for our environment set only to increase, scrap industry continue to remain crucial for almost all industries.

Scrap includes many things which are used and the waste of that used items is called as scrap. Considering the current ecological problems, the need for the recycling process development is


Must for energy saving as well as for the protection of the environment. Scrap includes Plastic waste, paper waste, steel and iron waste, electronic waste, biomedical waste, copper waste and many more such kind of verticals.

Generally scarp can be divided in to two parts.
1. Post Industrial scrap
2. Consumer Material scrap.
Post industrial scrap includes industrial waste such as copper, steel, iron etc. where in consumer material scrap includes the waste remained after the consumption of the particular material by the consumers.

In India scrap industry is still in nascent age and there are many opportunities lied in the Indian scrap industry. Properly organized model of integrated waste Management system can explore the new opportunities for the Indian scrap industry.

In India following types of scrap is recycled,
1. Metal scrap ( All kind of Metals)
2. Glass scrap (All kind of glasses)
3. Plastic scrap(All kind of plastic)
4. Paper scrap
5. Wooden scrap
6. Electronic scrap (computer, battery etc.)

The fundamental problem in the recycling is not having much of the scrap due to the improper network of the scrap collection and that’s why lots of waste is not converted in to the reusable form and scarp has to be exported from the foreign countries which affects the economy at large.

Though the recent government polices and need for environment friendly products the scrap and recycling market of India is going to boom like anything and immense opportunity is there for the growth of the nation and doing best out of the waste.
