How long is too long, when you issue a metal scrap tender? The length of your agreement with your chosen metal scrap partner is probably the trickiest bit of a metal scrap tender to get right. Most buyers want to secure a steady, long-term supply, so they can plan ahead. A long-term commitment: ✅ Is great for security. You're guaranteed that someone will buy up your metal scrap for a defined period of time. ❌ Is not great for value. The longer you're locked into an agreement, the more likely it is that you aren't getting the best price possible. So how do you strike a balance? It depends on your circumstances and priorities. (And, no, we're not trying to dodge the question) 👉 If your organization doesn't have the resources and know-how to review your tendering arrangements every few months, a long-term tender might make more sense, especially if you also produce relatively small volumes of scrap metal. 👉 If, on the other hand, you produce a large, predictable volume of metal scrap, and your top priority is getting the best price possible for it, shorter tenders may be the best way forward. 👉 Unsure? Tendering for a year is a good middle-of-the-road option. You're still losing some flexibility in terms of optimizing price, but you have more negotiating leverage as you're positioning yourself as a reliable supplier.

What's better value, a "net of aluminum" contract, or recycling aluminum printing plates by selling them directly to buyers? The biggest selling point of "net of aluminum" contracts, in which the manufacturer agrees to buy back your used printing plates, is that you're not exposed to market fluctuations in aluminum prices. But the truth is that you have more flexibility and control, and can get better prices, when you sell direct. The key is to follow these best practices: ✅ Keep your printing plates "clean". According to the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries' latest guidelines, they should: > Consist of 1000 or 3000 series alloys > Have a size of at least 8 cm in any direction > Be free of paper, plastic, excessively inked sheets, or other contaminants ✅ Aggregate as much as possible. The higher the volumes, the stronger your negotiating position. Metaloop's all-in-one solution can help with this. ✅ Compare quotes from different buyers and benchmark them with official price indexes like the London Metal Exchange. Here again, Metaloop can help by automatically sourcing and shortlisting the best prices from the areas where aluminum scrap is in highest demand. What's your approach to recycling aluminum printing plates? Do you use "net of aluminum" contracts or sell direct? Why? #Offset #Printing #Packaging
