Reclaim, Reform, Repurpose. Leading the Charge in Processing & Trading Alloy Scraps.
01
Reclaim
Reclaiming alloy scrap is at the heart of our mission at Nicore. We believe in giving discarded metal a new lease on life. By sourcing what might be considered waste, we actively contribute to conserving our precious natural resources and minimizing environmental impact. The process of reclaiming alloy scrap not only reduces the burden on landfills but also lessens the need for extracting and refining new raw materials.
02
Reform
Reforming metals is an essential process in metal recycling. This step involves preparing recycled or raw metal materials to meet specific requirements before they are used in the foundry for casting and molding processes.
03
Repurpose
After recycling, repurposing metals is the next step in the sustainable lifecycle of these materials. Repurposing involves taking recycled metals and transforming them into new products or components for various applications, extending their useful life and reducing the need for raw material extraction.
Nicore Metals & Alloys is an esteemed company known for its excellence in global trading and recycling of specialty alloys, minor metals and non-ferrous metals. As a key player in the industry, we take pride in sourcing and supplying metals to meet the global demand, ensuring a seamless flow of materials in the market.
What we do
Recycling
At Nicore, metal recycling is at the heart of our core business, and it plays a pivotal role in our commitment to reducing CO2 emissions and combating climate change. By recycling metal instead of producing it from raw materials through primary production, we significantly lower energy consumption, leading to reduced greenhouse gas emissions, including CO2.
Embracing the principles of a circular economy, metal recycling aligns with our dedication to continuously reuse and repurpose materials, promoting a more sustainable and environmentally responsible approach to resource utilization. Through active engagement in metal recycling efforts, we strive to make a positive impact on reducing CO2 emissions and addressing the global challenge of climate change.
Reduction
Through strategic partnerships, Nicore efficiently arranges size reduction services at specialized facilities. This essential process reduces the bulk of collected metals, making them more manageable for further processing. By optimizing the size of the materials, we enhance downstream operations, saving resources, and promoting the production of high-quality end products that meet the stringent standards of the melting industry.
Recovery
Through strategic partnerships, Nicore engages in the valuable process of PGM (Platinum Group Metals) recovery from waste extractions. This specialized practice involves extracting and recycling precious metals, including platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium, ruthenium, and osmium, from diverse waste sources.
PGMs are highly prized for their rarity and possess exceptional catalytic properties, making them crucial components in various industrial applications. Some of the significant waste sources from which we recover PGMs include spent catalytic converters, electronic waste, and certain industrial residues.
Sorting
Nicore plays a vital role in the efficient collection of specialty alloys, exotic metals, and non-ferrous metals from diverse sources. Our warehouse serves as a central hub where we carefully sort these materials based on their unique properties and characteristics. This meticulous sorting process ensures that the metals are well-prepared for their onward journey towards repurposing and recycling. As a result of our efforts, these metals find their way to smelters worldwide, contributing significantly to a sustainable circular economy.
By facilitating the recycling and repurposing of these valuable materials, Nicore actively promotes resource conservation and minimizes environmental impact. Our commitment to sustainability and responsible practices drives us to make a positive impact in the global supply chain and contribute to a greener future.
Quality
At Nicore, we employ a comprehensive approach to early stage testing by utilizing advanced analytical techniques. Our process begins with Niton XRF and Feuss Spectrometer, which provide initial insights into the composition of the materials.
To ensure thorough and precise analysis, we complement these methods with in-depth testing using sophisticated equipment, such as Optical Emission Spectrometer (OES), Atomic Absorption Spectrometry (AAS), Wet Chemical Analysis (WC), and LECO Gas analysis. These techniques enable us to obtain detailed information about the alloys and elements under evaluation.
By incorporating a combination of cutting-edge instruments, we can confidently deliver accurate and reliable results, supporting our commitment to providing high-quality materials to the smelting industry and other applications.
Sustainability
Shaping the horizon
Sustainable metal recycling is a transformative process that turns discarded materials into valuable resources, leading to significant environmental benefits. By recycling metals, we save natural resources, conserve energy, and effectively reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills. However, sustainable metal recycling goes beyond simple recycling; it represents a proactive approach to environmental stewardship and contributes to building a healthier future for our planet.
In a circular economy, the concept of sustainability is at its core. Instead of the traditional linear model of “take, make, dispose,” a circular economy aims to keep resources in use for as long as possible, extracting maximum value from them during their lifecycle. When it comes to metal recycling, this means extracting metals from discarded products, reusing them in new manufacturing processes, and continuously cycling them back into the economy.
