Non-Ferrous Materials: Aluminium, Copper & Brass
Non-ferrous materials cover aluminium, copper, brass and other non-iron metals generated by manufacturing, electrical work, maintenance and end-of-life equipment. Grade and cleanliness matter here, so evaluation is done on a described and verified basis.
What Non-Ferrous Materials Covers
Both sides use this scope: buyers describe requirements against it, and sellers describe consignments against it.
What this stream includes
- Aluminium arisings from extrusion, casting and fabrication
- Copper from electrical, winding and plumbing work
- Brass and bronze fittings, valves and components
- Mixed non-ferrous collected from plant maintenance
Typical examples
- Aluminium sections, sheet, castings and utensils
- Copper wire, cable, tubes and radiators
- Brass fittings, taps, valves and turnings
- Zinc and lead based arisings
- Motors, transformers and winding scrap
Who Sells Non-Ferrous Materials Through Vyqube
Both sides of the market use the same defined process, at different scales.
Describe the grade as your team records it, along with approximate quantity, packing and location. Where grade needs verification we coordinate inspection or sampling before commercials are agreed.
How we work with businessesIndividual sellers can share photos and an approximate weight. We confirm the route and next step without any obligation to proceed.
Selling as an individualTypical sellers
- · Manufacturing, extrusion and casting units
- · Electrical, panel and cabling contractors
- · Plumbing, HVAC and maintenance operations
- · Individuals with accumulated metal material
How We Evaluate Non-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
Because value depends on grade, inspection or verification is commonly arranged before commitment. Terms are put in writing before collection.
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 We do not quote a guaranteed price before the material has been described and, where applicable, inspected.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.
