Founded in 2004 as a dedicated HMS 1&2 trading house, Scrap Zones has grown into a certified global export partner — supplying 16 specialized commodity lines to mills, smelters, and processors worldwide.
Scrap Zones was established in 2004 by Somsak Bunnag with a single, deliberate focus: trading HMS 1&2 heavy melting steel. We did not start by trying to sell everything. We started by mastering one commodity — understanding furnace requirements, impurity tolerances, loading logistics, and what global mills actually pay for.
That single-commodity discipline became our foundation. When buyers began asking us to apply the same rigor to copper, aluminum, and stainless steel, we expanded — one grade at a time, only when we could guarantee the same quality control we had built in steel.
Over two decades, that philosophy grew Scrap Zones from a specialized steel desk into a full-spectrum export partner covering 16 specialized commodity lines across metals, polymers, paper, and electronic scrap — while never losing the specialist mindset that built the company.
"We don't trade everything. We trade what we can verify, grade, and deliver — flawlessly."
