World Metal Group is a Singapore-based Urban Mining Company founded in 1977. It arose during a time of weak legislation in the scrap commodity industry, which led to illegal trading and harmful practices that accelerated environmental degradation. To combat this, the company concentrated its focus to improve trade sustainability and foster an eco-friendly environment by extracting metals from industrial waste and supplying them back to clients in mills, foundries, and manufacturing industries.

World Metal Group’s success lies in its commitment to innovation and exploration. They understood that replicating existing market offerings wasn’t an option, so they fostered a culture of innovation. By finding new ways to extract resources from urban waste streams through faster and cheaper methods, they enhanced their growth prospects.

In 2020, they upgraded their facility, integrating advanced technology and equipment to reduce labor dependence and increase output through reverse engineering.
