From HMS to shredded steel and plate, our iron-based scrap supports steel production, foundries, and infrastructure manufacturing at scale.
Canwest Recycling supplies bulk ferrous scrap to clients in manufacturing, metal processing, and export markets. Our materials are carefully sourced from trusted suppliers and prepared to meet industrial specifications, ensuring every load delivers value and consistency. Our ferrous scrap offerings include widely used grades such as HMS 1 & 2, shredded steel, plate and structural scrap, and other processed materials suitable for melting and repurposing. Each shipment is inspected and categorized for quality, with documentation and grading aligned with ISRI standards.
We work closely with smelters, foundries, and recyclers to provide a reliable supply chain for iron-based scrap. Whether you're operating locally or sourcing internationally, we offer logistics support and scalable volumes that adapt to your production needs. With sustainability at the core of what we do, ferrous recycling isn’t just about economics — it’s about reducing raw material extraction, lowering energy consumption, and creating a more circular, responsible future for steel-based industries.
Ferrous Scrap Products We Offer
Recycling steel uses significantly less energy than producing new steel from raw ore — up to 74% less. It reduces mining, conserves resources, and cuts down on CO₂ emissions. By trading ferrous scrap responsibly, we help manufacturers reduce their environmental footprint while meeting production demands. At Canwest, we work to make that process seamless — moving material from yards and facilities to where it’s needed most.
By converting end-of-life tires into usable materials, we help create value from waste — keeping rubber in circulation and out of landfills. The result? A cleaner environment, a stronger circular economy, and a reliable source of raw material for forward-thinking industries.
Poorly sorted or contaminated steel scrap leads to costly slowdowns and inefficiencies at the melt stage. That’s why we emphasize consistent grading, material separation, and clear documentation — so every load arrives ready to perform.
Our quality control ensures you get material you can rely on — every time.
