Description

Radius Recycling, Inc. operates globally, primarily engaging in the reclamation of both ferrous (iron-containing) and nonferrous metals, alongside the fabrication of finished steel products. The company's operations commence with the procurement and processing of a wide array of discarded materials, including end-of-life vehicles, railway rolling stock, household appliances, industrial machinery, and debris from manufacturing, construction, and demolition. From these inputs, Radius Recycling produces reprocessed ferrous metal, which serves as a crucial feedstock for new steel production. Its nonferrous offerings encompass various alloys and pure metals recovered through shredding, such as zorba, zurik, aluminum, copper, stainless steel, nickel, brass, titanium, lead, and high-temperature alloys. Additionally, they extract and market serviceable used automotive components from their acquired vehicles. A specialized revenue stream involves the sale of catalytic converters to processors who then extract valuable precious metals like platinum, palladium, and rhodium. Leveraging its recycled metal resources and other raw materials, the company also manufactures diverse finished steel goods. This includes intermediate products like billets, as well as final products such as rebar, coiled rebar, wire rods, merchant bars, and various specialty items. The recycled metal output is supplied to a broad spectrum of industrial clients, including steel mills, foundries, refineries, smelters, wholesalers, and other metal recycling operations. Finished steel products find their market among steel service centers, construction industry subcontractors, steel fabricators, wire drawers, and major suppliers in the agricultural and wood products sectors. Beyond its core production, Radius Recycling provides a suite of ancillary services. These include scrap brokerage, certified destruction of materials, automotive parts recycling, railcar dismantling, and comprehensive reverse logistics solutions, all offered under the 3PR brand. Formerly known as Schnitzer Steel Industries, Inc., the company underwent a name change to Radius Recycling, Inc. in January 2024. Established in 1906, its corporate headquarters are situated in Portland, Oregon.
