Maxilead Metals exports 11,000 tonnes of scrap metal to Asia
MAXILEAD Metals, the Lancashire-based scrap metal recycling fi rm, has sent 11,000 tonnes of ferrous material to Singapore, India and Bangladesh since developing an exporting initiative just two and a half years ago.
The company collects and processes almost 60,000 tonnes of waste metal from homes and organisations around the UK every year, meaning 7% of Maxilead Metals’ material is now disposed of via export to these countries.
Commenting on Southeast Asia as a scrap-processing destination, Tom Clay, managing director at Maxilead Metals, said: “With China announcing tightened restrictions on imports of foreign waste from March onwards, the recycling industry is now looking to the Southeast Asian region as an alternative location, for refi ning scrap materials.

frequently manufactured. It’s a circular economy, and one that is growing due to lots of diff erent factors; increased household incomes, government spending and the introduction of the car scrappage schemes are a few main examples,” added Tom.
The fi rm expects this rise in demand to continue throughout 2018 as more people and businesses realise the monetary and environmental benefi ts to recycling scrap metal.
Maxilead Metals recently announced relocation plans to move from its 18.2 acre site in Lancashire to a larger piece of land three miles away. This will allow the company to expand on the back of a stream of national business wins.
