Scrap — from cost to capital
In many industries — from construction and manufacturing to real estate and energy — metal spills and scrap occur continuously. It is thrown away, put away or handled without follow-up.
But as metal prices rise and climate demands tighten, the view is changing. Scrap is no longer just something to be removed — it is an asset that can generate revenue, climate benefit and book value.
We have seen examples where companies have found hundreds of thousands of kronor in value in their scrap flows — which were previously not even recorded.
How does scrap affect the company's finances
When scrap is strategically managed, it can affect several parts of the company's finances:
- Revenue: Scrap metal sales generate ongoing income
- Lower waste costs: Less mixed waste means lower handling fees
- Environmental Accounting: CO₂ savings can be used in ESG reporting
In addition, larger amounts of scrap in storage (such as during demolition or upgrading) can in some cases be seen as an asset in financial statements.
