The term "Industrial recyclables" is one of those wide open doors, giving access to just about anything that firstly can be considered industrial scrap, and secondly can be recycled, for whatever purpose. An example of industrial recyclables is any metal that is discarded or left over from industrial production or use, in other words: scrap metal, usually base metal. Sometimes the term may refer to precious metal, like in scrap catalytic converters that are sought after for their platinum content.

"Industrial recyclables" can be considered your basic kind of scrap, usually scrap metal, which is traded lively as a commodity: an investment rather than a necessity. If you keep you eye on the markets, you can easily work out the best moments for either buying or selling. As this very website shows, scrap metal is often traded online, which is the most comfortable way to buy. And to sell, of course.

The trade in scrap metal is often underestimated, even looked down upon. That's some stupid attitude, for there really is money to be made in the scrap metal trade. Especially now recycling is so eminently important, even the beginning entrepreneur can, thanks to the internet, set up a business with a minimum of fuss.
