How stable is this supply base?
Three separate questions, answered in order: is the product fresh, is the market busy, and can the sellers be trusted.
Is there much new product?
Copper Scrap saw 52 new listings in the last 30 days, more than the 33 the month before. New offers are arriving at a faster rate, so the catalog a buyer sees today includes more recent pricing and availability. Compare listing dates when evaluating offers with similar specs or pricing.
Is the market busy?

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Copper Scrap listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 27 October 2026 - 996 active listings, 208 buyer requests, 674 source documents, and 6,033 supply observations from the same 365-day window. External export benchmarks are cited separately and never mixed into Freshdi figures.
Price and MOQ ranges are the interquartile range - the middle half of quotes, a quarter below and a quarter above - with the median reported alongside. A Copper Scrap type is priced only once it holds at least 5% of supply price quotes and 3 priced listings with a real range; below that it is not listed. Buyer prices are compared only once there are at least 5 of them.
All prices are FOB, in USD per metric ton; quotes on other Incoterms are converted to a FOB equivalent. Freshdi does not hold a CIF price series for Copper Scrap, so no landed-cost comparison is possible from this data.
Demand-versus-supply differences in trade and payment term shares are stated in percentage points, and origin rows add buyer requests per listing. Each figure carries its market scope - global - beside the number rather than in a footnote.
Product freshness counts listings created or updated. Supplier activity counts sellers by their last update. The two are different measurements and will not agree.
Freshdi reprocesses market data every hour, with one snapshot a day for trends. This page's figures, certification coverage included, refresh every 14 days on a rolling 365-day window.
