Participant role

Refiners and smelters

Takes concentrated e-scrap, board, black mass or recovered fractions and refines them by furnace, fire-assay, electrolytic or comparable route into marketable metal meeting a stated purity specification. Output is metal to spec, priced against a published benchmark.

How this role is defined
Qualifying activities
operating a smelter, refinery or comparable metallurgical facility; accepting third-party secondary feedstock on a toll or purchase basis; assaying and settling against recovered metal content; producing cathode, bullion, granules or alloy to specification.
Does not qualify alone
shredding and sorting; buying and reselling concentrates; sampling and assay services alone.
Boundary vs C05
purity specification and metallurgical transformation are the discriminators.
Boundary vs C09
C09 buys recovered material to consume or trade; C08 transforms it.
B2B scope
business-to-business only. Activity sold to individual consumers or households never supports this role; a company serving both is admitted on its business-facing evidence alone, with the consumer channel recorded as an attribute of the company, never as grounds for a role.
