rap and therefore benefit metal trading companies and processing intermediaries, whose business model centers on sourcing material, managing quality and coordinating third -partydismantling, sorting and processing services. As mills and smelters compete for verified low -carbonfeedstock, intermediaries with strong supplier networks and market intelligence can capture larger volumes, negotiate better spreads and deepen their role as essential coordinators in the recycling value chain. Aging Infrastructure Replacement Cycle:A large portion of roads, bridges, ports, ship hulls, and high -risebuildings in Japan were erected during the rapid -growthdecades of the 1960s through the 1980s, which means many of these structures are approaching or have exceeded their engineered service life. The Japanese government safety audits and stricter seismic standards have accelerated demolition, retrofit, and rebuild programs, especially between 2020 and 2024, as stimulus budgets were channeled into public works projects for regional revitalization. Each demolition, retrofit, and rebuild project releases significant volumes of relatively clean ferrous scrap metal, including structural steel, rebar, steel plate, copper wires and stainless fixtures, all of which enter the recycling stream at predictable, contract -basedintervals. For recycled metal trading companies and processing intermediaries, this steady wave of end -of -lifeinfrastructure offers a reliable, large -lotsupply that can be pre -bookedwith demolition contractors and civil engineering firms, securing the on -goingvolume for growth. Digitalization and Automation:In recent years, the Japanese recycling sector has accelerated its adoption of digital and robotic solutions, driven by acute labor shortages, pandemic related distancing rules, and rising quality requirements from mills and smelters. Modern yards are installing optical and X -raysensors linked to artificial -intelligencesoftware that can identify alloys and contaminants in real time, while autonomous guided vehicles and robotic arms handle heavy or hazardous components, improving both safety and throughput. In parallel, for metal trading companies and processing intermediaries, electronic manifests, QR -codedwaybills, and automated customs filings compress paperwork, lower financing costs, and speed cargo release. Blockchain -basedcertificates of origin and carbon intensity satisfy mills’ traceability and green -steelrequirements, while routing software links this data to subcontractor and freight capacity to cut empty hauls. Also, mobile grading apps, AI spectrometers, and cloud pricing now let Japanese metal traders evaluate scrap quality and lock in spreads from any location. Together, these digital tools raise margins and working -capitalefficiency for trading companies and
