Ferrous Materials: Iron & Steel
Ferrous materials are iron and steel based materials arising from fabrication, maintenance, plant upgrades and end-of-life equipment. Vyqube evaluates what you have, then either buys it directly or coordinates a sale to a suitable buyer or processor.
What Ferrous Materials Covers
Both sides use this scope: buyers describe requirements against it, and sellers describe consignments against it.
What this stream includes
- Iron and mild steel arisings from manufacturing
- Structural and fabrication offcuts
- End-of-life machinery and equipment bodies
- Mixed ferrous collected during site clearances
Typical examples
- Heavy melting scrap and plate cuttings
- Structural sections, angles, pipes and tubes
- Turnings, borings and machining arisings
- Steel drums, barrels and enclosures
- Retired plant, tanks and fabricated assemblies
Who Sells Ferrous Materials Through Vyqube
Both sides of the market use the same defined process, at different scales.
Share the material description, approximate tonnage, location and whether the volume is one-time or recurring. We confirm the route, arrange inspection or weighment coordination where required, and settle terms in writing before movement.
How we work with businessesSmaller quantities are welcome. Describe what you have with a photo if possible and we will confirm whether we can buy it directly or arrange a buyer for it.
Selling as an individualTypical sellers
- · Manufacturing and fabrication units
- · Construction, infrastructure and project sites
- · Workshops, garages and service facilities
- · Individuals with accumulated iron or steel material
How We Evaluate Ferrous Materials
Value depends on what the material actually is. These are the factors we record and assess.
What we assess
- Material type, grade description and condition
- Approximate quantity and how it is packed or stored
- Contamination or mixed content, where relevant
- Location, access and transport feasibility
- Timeline and whether the volume is one-time or recurring
Inspection
Inspection or a photo review is arranged where the grade or quantity needs confirmation. Commercials are confirmed before anything is collected.
Terms are confirmed in writing before collection. We do not quote a guaranteed price before the material has been described and, where applicable, inspected.
Available Transaction Routes
We Buy Directly
Where the material and the commercials work, Vyqube purchases it from you and moves it on into the appropriate downstream market.
We Facilitate The Transaction
Where direct purchase is not the right fit, we identify a suitable buyer, processor or recycler and coordinate the transaction between you and them.
