Without sacrificing quality, CO2 emissions can be cut by more than 60% by employing scrap metals that can be recycled indefinitely. On the other hand, the secondary metals trade is a globally, highly fragmented, opaque, and distrusted industry.

Rafael Suchan, Co-Founder of METYCLE said, “Metal recycles forever without quality loss. It’s a key reusable commodity for infrastructure and investment goods production and the key material for the green energy transition towards a carbon neutral world,”.

Sebastian Brenner, METYCLE’s second Co-Founder said, “We want to make sure that the highest amount of metals possible are recycled properly, safely, and beneficial to the environment. With METYCLE we aim to be the world’s most efficient and trusted marketplace for secondary metals,”.

When selling metals, METYCLE is a reliable partner with a basis in Germany that manages all of the headaches associated with negotiation, payment tracking, and delivery. METYCLE now sources its materials from all across Europe, but it is also starting to source from North America.
