Alter Trading has a long legacy of charitable giving and volunteerism in the communities where we operate. Our generosity and community service lives on through the passion and commitment of our employees who support and participate in neighborhood cleanups, food drives, tree plantings and community building events.
Alter Trading has implemented comprehensive measures to address scrap metal theft and radiation detection, including enforcement of strict scrap acceptance policies at all of our facilities. We have invested in significant IT infrastructure and built strong relationships with our local communities and law enforcement in order to prevent metal and report theft.
Alter Trading is always making responsible investments in new technology to enhance the recovery of ferrous and nonferrous metals and to recycle other valuable materials while meeting customer quality needs, minimizing environmental impacts and reducing our environmental footprint. As we look to the future, sustainability and environmental compliance will remain central to our business success, providing additional opportunities to maximize value from scrap metal and other recyclables. Alter invests in advanced separation and extraction technologies which capture more nonferrous metals from the materials we process, reducing the waste we send to landfills while enhancing the quality of the products we deliver to our customers.
Alter Trading is constantly adapting its services with enthusiasm to meet and exceed the needs of its customer's goals and expectations. We never lose sight of high efficiency and continuous improvements necessary to gain sustainable competitive advantages in today's result-oriented environment.

Our operations receive nonferrous scrap metal through direct purchases and the processing of obsolete scrap materials which contain portions of nonferrous metals. Many of our facilities also contain advanced separation equipment including magnetized drums, Eddy Current Separators and Induction Sorting Systems to ensure that materials are separated appropriately. All of these results in metal processed into specification-acceptable pieces with size, density and purity that mills and foundries prefer for melting and use in the production of new finished metal products.
We transport processed scrap to customers around the world, primarily via ships (by bulk or container) and trucks, which take advantage of our strategically located facilities.
As part of our commitment to being a very efficient, low cost scrap processor, we are constantly investing in improvements to our facilities that increase our capabilities and improve efficiency while reducing our environmental footprint.
