Non-ferrous metals are metals that do not contain iron, such as aluminium, copper, brass, lead, and zinc. In Malaysia, they are widely used in construction, electronics, automotive, manufacturing, and recycling industries due to their corrosion resistance, lightweight properties, and high recyclability.
Commonly recycled non-ferrous metals in Malaysia include aluminium cans and profiles, copper wires and pipes, brass fittings, stainless steel, lead batteries, and zinc scrap. These materials have strong demand in both local and export markets.
Yes. The trading and recycling of non-ferrous metals in Malaysia are regulated by local authorities and the Department of Environment (DOE). Licensed recyclers must comply with environmental regulations, scheduled waste handling (where applicable), and export requirements under Malaysian law.
Licensed recyclers ensure legal compliance, proper environmental management, transparent pricing, and safe handling of materials. Working with approved recyclers also supports Malaysia’s circular economy and sustainability goals.
