Why Now
A Volatile Market Needs Smart Tools
The global e-waste precious metals market is projected to grow from $39.7B to $57.4B by 2033. But prices fluctuate daily — palladium crashed in late-2025, platinum faces supply deficits, and gold holds high floors. Operators who react slowly leave money on the table.
ScrapMetrics bridges AI-powered identification with live market intelligence, giving scrappers the same pricing transparency that institutional traders rely on.
Safe-haven demand keeps gold pricing stable. Boards with gold contacts, pins, and plating are consistently worth targeting.
Structural South African supply constraints keep platinum tight. Watch for spikes — this is a timing-sensitive metal.
After the late-2025 crash, palladium pricing is rebuilding. Boards with palladium capacitors and connectors need careful timing.
