Manufacturing
Heavy manufacturers generate continuous scrap streams from production — offcuts, rejects, turnings, and packaging waste — while periodically retiring entire production lines that carry significant residual value. We partner with manufacturers to manage both: everyday scrap trading that keeps yards clear and cash flowing, and full asset recovery programs when production lines reach end of life.
Key Challenges
- Managing continuous mixed-metal scrap volumes without disrupting production
- Maximizing residual value on retired machinery and tooling
- Meeting environmental compliance obligations for waste streams
- Coordinating shutdown windows around live production schedules
Our Solutions
- On-site scrap collection and grading programs integrated into production flow
- Scheduled asset recovery and machinery resale for retired lines
- Documented waste management aligned to regulatory requirements
- Flexible scheduling that works around live operations
Services Offered
Case Example
A tier-one automotive component manufacturer consolidated three separate scrap vendors into a single DD LM Global program, increasing recovered value per ton by 18% while cutting collection logistics costs.
Construction
Construction and redevelopment projects generate large, mixed debris streams — concrete, structural steel, timber, and site waste — that need fast, compliant handling to keep a project on schedule. We provide demolition, sorting, and material recovery services that clear sites efficiently while recovering maximum value from structural steel and reusable materials.
Key Challenges
- Tight project schedules that leave little room for delay
- Mixed-material debris that complicates sorting and disposal
- Site safety risks around demolition and clearance work
- Local regulations governing debris disposal and dust control
Our Solutions
- Rapid-mobilization demolition and clearance crews
- On-site sorting to separate steel, aggregate, and waste streams
- Dust and vibration monitoring throughout clearance work
- Coordination with local authorities on permitting and compliance
Services Offered
Case Example
For a mixed-use redevelopment in Navi Mumbai, our teams cleared a former industrial site of 12,000 tons of debris in six weeks, recovering enough structural steel to offset nearly a third of total clearance cost.
Infrastructure
Public infrastructure — bridges, rail lines, water systems, and utility networks — is built to last decades, but eventually reaches the point where dismantling and replacement is more cost-effective than continued maintenance. We work with public agencies and contractors to safely dismantle aging infrastructure while recovering structural steel and equipment for resale.
Key Challenges
- Working near or over active infrastructure and public spaces
- Complex approvals across multiple government stakeholders
- Structural uncertainty in aging or damaged infrastructure
- Public safety and disruption management during works
Our Solutions
- Engineering assessments tailored to aging infrastructure conditions
- Phased dismantling sequences that minimize public disruption
- Close coordination with municipal and government stakeholders
- Structural steel recovery programs that offset project cost
Services Offered
Case Example
Our teams dismantled a decommissioned rail overpass across three phased night closures, recovering 640 tons of structural steel while keeping the adjacent road open throughout the works.
Marine
Shipowners and fleet operators need a recycling partner who understands both the technical complexity of vessel dismantling and the regulatory landscape governing it. Our marine services cover HKC-compliant ship breaking, port-side scrap handling, and logistics coordination for fleets reaching end of life.
Key Challenges
- International regulatory compliance under the Hong Kong Convention
- Hazardous materials management aboard aging vessels
- Coordinating vessel arrival, berthing, and dismantling schedules
- Maximizing recovery value on steel, machinery, and fittings
Our Solutions
- HKC-compliant yards with independently verified safety infrastructure
- Pre-arrival hazardous materials surveys and gas-freeing protocols
- Coordinated berthing and dismantling scheduling
- Global resale network for recovered machinery and fittings
Services Offered
Case Example
Our Jebel Ali program recycled a fleet of six retired cargo vessels with zero environmental incidents, recovering 22,000 tons of steel plate for regional mills.
Mining
Mine closure is a long, tightly regulated process that requires careful decommissioning of processing plants, heavy equipment, and site infrastructure alongside environmental rehabilitation. We support mining operators through the full closure lifecycle — from equipment recovery to site remediation.
Key Challenges
- Remote site locations that complicate logistics
- Heavy, specialized equipment requiring expert handling
- Environmental rehabilitation obligations under mining permits
- Long closure timelines requiring phased execution
Our Solutions
- Remote-mobilization crews equipped for isolated sites
- Specialist heavy equipment recovery and resale programs
- Environmental remediation aligned to closure permit conditions
- Phased decommissioning plans matched to regulatory timelines
Services Offered
Case Example
At a closed open-pit operation, we recovered and remarketed haul trucks, crushers, and conveyor systems, generating recovery proceeds equal to nearly 40% of total closure budget.
Energy
As energy generation shifts toward renewables, aging power plants — coal, gas, and legacy nuclear-adjacent balance-of-plant infrastructure — are increasingly reaching decommissioning. We manage the safe teardown of turbine halls, cooling towers, and grid infrastructure, recovering high-value steel and copper along the way.
Key Challenges
- Complex process equipment requiring specialist knowledge
- Strict environmental controls around legacy contamination
- Large structures requiring precision demolition methods
- Coordination with grid operators during disconnection
Our Solutions
- Engineering-led teardown planning for turbine halls and process equipment
- Environmental remediation for legacy contamination sites
- Precision controlled demolition for cooling towers and stacks
- Coordinated grid disconnection scheduling with utility operators

Case Example
Our Rotterdam program fully decommissioned a retired coal-fired power station — 14 structures including the turbine hall and cooling towers — over 11 months, saving an estimated 9,600 tonnes of CO₂-equivalent through material recovery.
Automotive
The automotive sector generates scrap at both ends of the vehicle lifecycle — production offcuts and stampings from manufacturing, and end-of-life vehicle bodies once a car's useful life is over. We support manufacturers and end-of-life vehicle processors with recycling, grading, and trading services tailored to automotive-grade steel and non-ferrous metals.
Key Challenges
- High volumes of mixed-metal production scrap
- Complex material streams in end-of-life vehicles
- Fluctuating scrap prices affecting margin predictability
- Regulatory requirements around depollution and fluid removal
Our Solutions
- Dedicated production scrap collection and grading programs
- Certified depollution and dismantling for end-of-life vehicles
- Precision separation for mixed automotive metal streams
- Market intelligence to support pricing and contract stability

Case Example
A regional vehicle assembly plant shifted its stamping-line scrap program to DD LM Global, improving recovered value per ton by 15% through better alloy separation.
Government
Government agencies and municipalities regularly retire public assets — vehicles, machinery, infrastructure, and facilities — and need transparent, compliant disposal processes that stand up to public scrutiny. We manage public asset disposal and scrap programs with the documentation and accountability government clients require.
Key Challenges
- Public accountability and procurement transparency requirements
- Diverse asset types requiring different disposal approaches
- Strict compliance with public procurement and environmental regulation
- Coordination across multiple government departments
