Participant role

Commodity end-buyers

Buys recovered material streams from the electronics chain (copper, aluminium, steel, plastics, board grades, black mass, precious-metal concentrates) for its own account, either to consume as manufacturing feedstock or to hold and resell on a trading book. The purchase is of material as commodity, not of equipment.

How this role is defined
Qualifying activities
purchasing sorted or concentrated secondary material; contracting supply from recyclers; consuming that material in own production; trading it for own account.
Does not qualify alone
operating the venue where material is priced; brokering material between two other parties; refining material to spec.
Boundary vs V07
V07 is the exchange or index; C09 is a participant buying for itself.
Boundary vs C08
C08 transforms material metallurgically; C09 consumes or resells it.
Boundary vs E04
E04 never takes title.
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.
