Premium Mixed Yellow Brass Scrap (ISRI Honey) – High-Yield Industrial Recycling Metal

Directly Processed Mixed Yellow Brass Scrap (ISRI Honey) for Maximum Yield

When you source Mixed Yellow Brass Scrap, you need absolute certainty in the purity, composition, and consistency of the metal. We do not just connect buyers and sellers; we are direct processors and traders. Every batch of our yellow brass scrap is mechanically sorted, processed, and refined at our own facilities to ensure it meets the highest metallurgical standards. By eliminating the middleman and controlling the processing chain, we guarantee a product that minimizes dross, reduces melting energy, and maximizes your copper and zinc recovery rates.

Our “Honey” grade brass scrap is gathered from premium post-industrial and post-consumer sources, including plumbing fixtures, industrial turnings, and architectural hardware. Before it leaves our yard, it undergoes rigorous magnetic separation and manual inspection to remove ferrous materials, plastics, and non-metallic attachments. The result is a clean, high-density raw material ready for immediate furnace loading by foundries, extruders, and smelters across the European Union.

Why Choose Directly Processed Brass?

• Higher Recovery Rates: By strictly controlling our refining and sorting process, we keep moisture, dirt, and oil to an absolute minimum, ensuring you get exactly the metal weight you pay for.

• Energy Efficiency: Clean scrap melts faster and at lower temperatures, reducing your energy consumption and lowering your facility’s carbon footprint.

• Consistent Alloy Base: Our careful sorting ensures a predictable Copper-to-Zinc ratio, allowing your metallurgists to easily adjust the chemistry for casting or extrusion without fighting unknown trace elements.

Seamless EU-Wide Logistics & Compliance

Navigating cross-border metal trade requires precision. We manage the entire logistics chain, providing fast, secure, and fully compliant shipping to all 27 EU member states. Whether delivering by sea freight to major ports like Rotterdam and Antwerp or via direct road freight to landlocked industrial centers in Central Europe, we ensure your supply chain remains uninterrupted. All shipments are accompanied by comprehensive Annex VII documentation and are fully compliant with European waste shipment and REACH regulations.
