One accountable partner. From source to smelter.
We buy
We buy secondary metals and take ownership of the material. Our global trading team manages sourcing, contracts, pricing and hedging.
We upgrade
Our SmartSorting Hubs turn selected mixed and shredded non-ferrous scrap into clearly specified feedstock for industrial use.
We verify
We check material quality against agreed specifications. TrustTrack links the supporting quality records to the batch and the trade.
We supply
We manage logistics and deliver to agreed specifications, volumes and schedules, remaining accountable through settlement.
Intelligence beyond the sorting line.
Metycle connects what the sorting line measures, what buyers specify and what each trade reveals.

The data advantage
Every batch informs the next.
Our own systems connect material analysis and processing results with trading data, buyer specifications and feedback. The result is proprietary material intelligence: which sources supply which metals and alloys, how those materials respond to sorting and which specifications the recovered metal can meet.
That intelligence guides what we buy, how we process it and how we match feedstock to industrial requirements. Every processed batch and completed trade deepens that knowledge.

SmartSorting Hubs
Precision, engineered as a system.
Our SmartSorting Hubs combine mechanical separation and sensor-based sorting, including LIBS (laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy) and AI-enabled material classification. Metycle’s own process control and data capture connect the line from intake to output.
The system is engineered for repeatable quality at industrial throughput. It upgrades selected mixed and shredded non-ferrous streams into clearly specified feedstock, from alloy-sorted aluminium to colour-sorted copper, brass and bronze.

TrustTrack
The batch. And the evidence behind it.
TrustTrack links records of origin, weight, composition, processing and delivery to the batch and the trade. Buyers can assess material against their specifications, while financing partners can review the evidence behind the transaction.
These records also form the data foundation for a digital product passport for secondary metals. Our goal is to keep reliable material information connected to the metal as it moves through the value chain.
The metal moves. The intelligence stays.

Voices from the market
Bureau of International Recycling
The industrial layer between scrap and smelter.
Metycle is a vertically integrated secondary metals company. We buy, upgrade and supply aluminium, copper and selected other non-ferrous metals to industrial customers worldwide.
We combine global trading, AI-enabled sorting at our SmartSorting Hubs and proprietary data infrastructure to turn fragmented scrap flows into clearly specified feedstock. The material intelligence we build stays in our own systems, helping us source more precisely and supply with greater certainty.
We are building the infrastructure for industry to do more with the metal the world already has. By returning recovered metal to higher-value applications, we help strengthen security of supply and reduce reliance on newly mined raw materials.
Built for the realities of secondary metals.
