All Alloys

Aluminium, titanium, nickel and cobalt-based alloys.

Any Volume

From offcut bins to bulk production and workshop loads.

UK-Wide

Collection service available, Mon–Fri.

Nationwide alloy recycling for businesses.

We provide specialist alloy recycling services for businesses of all sizes across the UK.

An alloy is a metal made by combining two or more elements to improve strength, weight, heat resistance or corrosion resistance. Alloys are used everywhere, from aluminium extrusions and castings to aircraft engine parts and car wheels. Because every alloy has its own make-up, scrap needs to be sorted by type and grade to be recycled at full value.

Whether you’re a manufacturer with aluminium alloy offcuts or an aerospace supplier with high-grade machining waste, our nationwide collection service makes alloy recycling simple, efficient and fully compliant.

Why recycling alloys matters for your business.

High-performance alloys contain valuable elements such as aluminium, titanium, nickel, chromium, cobalt and molybdenum. Producing these from raw ore takes a lot of energy, while recycled alloy can be remelted and reused with no loss of quality when it is kept properly separated.

When your business recycles scrap alloys with MetalCycle, your material is sorted by alloy type and grade, so it can go back into new production instead of being downgraded or sent to landfill. That recovers more value from your scrap, supports a circular economy and gives you a clear audit trail for your environmental reporting.

What we take

Types of alloys we collect:

Aluminium alloys

Extrusions, sheet, plate, castings and offcuts from manufacturing and fabrication.

Aerospace alloys

High-grade aluminium, titanium and nickel alloy parts, offcuts and machining waste.

Nickel & cobalt alloys

Heat-resistant superalloys such as Inconel and Hastelloy from engineering and energy sectors.

Alloy wheels:

Aluminium alloy wheels from garages, tyre centres, fleets and vehicle dismantlers.

Titanium alloys:

Sheet, bar, turnings and parts from aerospace, medical and precision engineering.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions.

Alloy recycling is the collection, sorting and remelting of waste metal alloys so they can be reused in new products. Keeping alloys separated by type and grade lets them be recycled into equally high-quality material.

We recycle aluminium alloys, aerospace alloys, titanium alloys, nickel and cobalt superalloys, and aluminium alloy wheels. For brass and bronze, see our copper recycling service.

Aluminium alloy waste is sorted by series or grade, cleaned of contaminants such as plastic, steel inserts and paint where needed, then remelted and cast into new ingots or billets. Recycling aluminium uses far less energy than producing it from raw ore.

Yes. We collect aerospace-grade aluminium, titanium and nickel alloy scrap, including solids, offcuts, turnings and redundant parts. Keeping grades separate and labelled, with any material certificates, helps us achieve the best return.
