Reukema Recycling is an innovative and rapidly growing player in the global trade and recycling of ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, plastics and paper. In the century that we have been active in this sector, the business has blossomed into a healthy and reliable organisation with trading offices in Europe, North America, the Middle East, Asia and Africa. Our ambition is to form a strong and globally active alliance.

• Reukema Recycling’s roots are entirely Dutch. Our success is due to our unique business model, which connects regionally active suppliers to a professional and global supply and sales network. This means that all parties involved benefit from the flexibility, speed and low costs of local purchasing, whilst also benefitting from the efficiency, continuity, market knowledge and quality of a global player.
• Trade is a people business. For this reason, we base our entire business on our highly professional, motivated personnel. We strive to create sustainable business relationships on a basis of mutual respect and trust. The spirit of enterprise flows through our organisation. Together, we achieve the best possible results for all parties involved.
• Our internationally active trade network is supported by reliable services, a professional financial structure, solid risk management and innovative data communication for process management and real-time market information.
