We Care About the Earth

Conserving and reusing raw materials is central to SGC Metals’ mission and business model. By keeping these useful raw materials in circulation, SGC does its part to keep them out of landfills and prolongs the life of each sliver of scrap that comes through the doors.

Our planet’s resources are finite, but through recycling, these necessary materials can be utilized in myriad ways.

The business of collecting, sorting, and processing scrap metal is one that necessitates the use of dangerous, powerful, heavy machinery. All employees are aware and constantly reminded of this fact and take every precaution to minimize and, ideally, eliminate all work-related accidents. SGC complies fully with workplace safety standards.

Sustainability

Scrap metal recycling plays a crucial role in climate change. As the world’s resources begin to run out and the threat of climate change triggers energy savings, scrap metal traders will become more important than ever.

We have an obligation to operate with sustainable practices and are committed to improving the environment through recycling and creating a clean and safe place for our colleagues to work. We value sustainable and renewable solutions to create a greener tomorrow.
