Smart Metal Recycling

Forget the image of the analog scrap yard. By 2026, metal recycling will be controlled by algorithms and precision robotics. In an era where AI sorting rescues previously wasted values and battery recycling reaches industrial scale, technology has become the most important component of the circular cycle. We explore how Skrotify challenges the traditional industry by integrating the GreenTech of the future to maximize both environmental benefits and returns.

In 2026, metal recycling has transformed from a simple waste issue to a strategic business asset. With tightened EU requirements and a focus on circular flows, effective traceability and smart resource utilisation are now crucial for both profitability and environmental profile.

Are you sitting on a gold mine and not knowing about it? In 2026, metal recycling is more profitable than ever, whether you're clearing the warehouse or running a construction company. We teach you how to sort like a pro, distinguish precious copper from regular iron and how to get the best paid directly via Skrotify.

Between 2024 and 2026, sustainability reporting moves from voluntary targets to strict legal requirements. The CSRD Directive now equates environmental data with financial figures, creating a paradigm shift for the recycling industry. For companies, this means that the ability to deliver accurate climate data has become a critical competitive advantage. We'll figure out how the new requirements affect your business.

Between 2025 and 2026, Digital Product Passports (DPP) will be rolled out as a cornerstone of the EU's new Ecodesign Regulation. For the industry, this represents a historic shift. From a linear “slit-and-throw” model to a transparent, circular economy where digital information becomes as valuable as the raw material itself. We find out how the new traceability requirements affect manufacturing, recycling and the future competitiveness of your business.

Historically, logistics in the scrap industry have involved heavy transport and fixed routes, often with half-empty containers as a result. But with the implementation of IoT sensors, the playing field is now being redrawn.
