About us
Buddy is a relationship-led marketplace built for scrappies, by scrappies. With over 30 years in the metal recycling industry, we’ve experienced the same challenges as you when it comes to trading. That’s why we’ve built the tools to help you find tried-and-trusted counterparties, and take the effort out of getting the best deal. We help you simplify your end-to-end trading experience through: - Comprehensive counterparty vetting, - In-app trading and negotiation, - Freight rates at your fingertips, - Post-trade admin at the click of a button, and - Data analysis on demand. With Buddy you don’t deal with a nameless, faceless counterparty - every profile is connected to a real person and company, verified in person by the Buddy team. Buddy - trade scrap, not time!

When one part of the team is out of sync, the whole operation feels it. Trading, admin, and ops—each piece needs to fit. And when it doesn’t? Deals stall. Material sits. Money leaks. That’s why the smoothest days don’t happen by accident. It takes planning, preparation, coordination. You could keep juggling convos across texts, email threads, and radio chatter. Or you could use a system built to connect every step of the trade—start to finish. Because when things flow, metal moves. And when metal moves, everybody wins. #TradeWithBuddy #ForScrappiesByScrappies #MetalRecycling
