This category covers industrial scrap materials exported from and traded within Bangladesh, including metal scrap, aluminium and zinc dross, and waste plastics.

Bay X Bengal lists verified exporters in this category sourced from the EPB registry, with direct contact details and compliance data where available.

Scrap is normally priced against international metal benchmarks and shipped in bulk, so grade, contamination limits and inspection terms matter more than brand. Ask whether pre-shipment inspection is available for your destination.
