4 TRADING TSR is an important supplier of ferrous and non-ferrous metals for the steel and metal industry thanks to its processing facilities in Europe and its trading offices around the world. The scrap material comes straight to TSR from traders, waste management businesses and scrap producers. As a result of its activities, TSR acts as a link between scrap producers, scrap traders and the iron and steel industry. Scrap metals are valuable raw materials because scrap metal recycling saves energy and conserves our planet's natural resources. It does not matter what the material is, as you can see in the following slide: TSR has excellent knowledge of all aspects of scrap metal recycling - from accepting the materials all the way through to returning them to production cycles as secondary raw materials. TSR sorts the metals, processes them, categorises them into the usual market grades and then returns them to production cycles via scrap trading businesses. TSR use all modes of transport available whether it be by road, rail or ship. TSR's export warehouses at the ports of Amsterdam, Dordrecht, Hamburg and Bremen act as central locations where the metals can be packed and shipped all around the world. 4
