How E-commerce is transforming the B2B Sector ?

 2020 may be watershed in the entire history of e-commerce due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The year leading up to now has witnessed growth in online marketplaces and delivery services. The pandemic prompted a race to migrate operations online and, companies that invested in digitalization had the upper hand.

Owing to growth in e-commerce, B2B business relationships have started to undergo speedy transformation. B2B sector relied on face-to-face interactions to gain and retain clients. It also has a complex and lengthier sales cycle. The orders are customized, placed in higher volumes, and involve bigger transactions as compared to B2C. Despite all the difference, B2B customers expect the same user experience as B2C customers, viz. user-friendly platform, ease of access, quick check out, and secure transactions. 

Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and Data Analytics have been used in commercial ecosystem. In the recent times, these technologies have been integrated into production and supply chains. B2B companies have also been able to build resilience by integration of platforms and services rather than the previous linear approach. 

However, for the successful transition, a B2B business has to overcome some key challenges. 

1. Infrastructure 

Availability of infrastructure determines which business and regions will better adapt to the transformation and possibly emerge as leaders. 

2. Logistics 

The pace of orders placed in a B2B environment is faster via e-commerce. Hence, the business must be equipped to keep up with the logistical requirements. The deliveries must be speedy to encourage customer adoption. 

3. Building trust in integrity of the e-commerce system 

This might be the most important task of all. For a B2B business that hasn’t operated on an e-commerce platform, building trust of its clients in the integrity of the system is very crucial. 

The on-going pandemic has fast-tracked digital transformation creating a golden opportunity for B2B businesses. The ball is now in the court of B2B businesses to make the most of it. Lucky Group is a leading name in Dubai scrap trading, a trusted name amongst the varied recycling companies in UAE. It is also one of the most prominent suppliers of recycled metal to businesses in the country. It has committed to digitizing their models and deriving more competitive advantage than their slower-moving peers.

Recycling Robots

 …how is it revolutionizing the scrap business?

Recycling robots have been accelerating the recycling process. But what are recycling robots? These are highly capable and multitasking systems that are deployed for waste processing and recycling in a host of industries. These robots can function 24/7, are fast, accurate, and capable of processing heavy load of waste materials. 

Such robots have been instrumental in the recent times more than ever. For instance, when the world is coping with pandemic, it became a matter of concern for many involved in manual segregation to operate with scrap that could possibly infect them. 

The recycling robot is our shot at preventing 12 billion metric tones of plastic ending up in landfills. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/plastic-produced-recycling-waste-ocean-trash-debris-environment#close. The advancements made in robotics harnesses artificial intelligence to sort trash. The cameras and high-tech systems are instrumental in detecting and picking up the desired scrap. 

Recycling robots have been noticed to work twice as fast as humans. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/07/26/meet-the-robots-being-used-to-help-solve-americas-recycling-crisis.html. Not only plastic, but these robots can distinguish between type, texture, color, and material of the scrap. Bjorstaddalen has the first robotic sorting facility for C&D and C&I waste in Norway. The automated stations are provided by ZenRobotics. It can sort the construction and demolition materials using the colour coded cameras, laser sensors, and metal detectors equipped to make as many as 6000 picks per hour.

With an automated system that has higher rate of pick up and accuracy, recycling robots are also equipped to store the information of the materials picked and use it for quality control. This leads to better results in recycling, in fact it generates value. 

For example, the recycling robot can be programmed to segregate metals from other scrap materials such as rubber, plastic, paper, etc. They can be further be programmed to segregate metal scraps according to their types, shapes, and forms.

Many metal recycling companies are turning to recycling robots for optimizing recycling efforts. In places like Dubai scrap yards and many other recycling companies in UAE where metal scrap is dealt in huge amounts, recycling robots could become indispensable part of the industry. Could it replace human workforce in the scrap metal industry completely? Only time will tell.

Use of Metals in Aircrafts

When it was incepted, aircrafts used completely different components and compositions.  The first airplane built by the Wright brothers heavily used wooden apparatuses. As air travel grew in its early days and in-flight safety wasn’t a great deal as today, the seating consisted of wooden chairs. Over the years, aircraft designers, engineers, and manufacturers have taken in account multiple factors – from usability, functional requirements, maintenance costs, to sustainability, and made use of composite metals for building an efficient aircraft.

Let’s see how and which metals are used in aircrafts;

Aluminium 

Due to its low density and high strength, Aluminium is a highly dependable metal in aerodynamics. Engine of the first aircraft featured a 30-pound aluminium block. Since then, it has been used in mass-productions of commercial aircrafts. https://transport.world-aluminium.org/modes/aircraft/

Due to nature of its operation, high strength aluminium alloys are ideal to be used in airplane construction. To strengthen the body, alloy 7075 is used. It consists of copper, magnesium, and zinc. It is also resistant to corrosion, thereby reducing maintenance costs. 

https://www.experimentalaircraft.info/articles/aircraft-aluminum.php

Steel

Steel is up to three times stronger than aluminium. Since aluminium cannot be used on the skin surface of the aircraft due to its low resistance to heat, Steel is ideal for the same. The landing gear is also made of steel. In fact, steel comprises 11-13 percent of the aircraft. https://www.stainless-steel-world.net/mobile/blogs/273/high-strength-cra-ideal-for-landing-gear.html

Titanium

Titanium is an expensive metal with robust qualities and high endurance. It has excellent qualities like high temperature and corrosion resistance. Titanium can be found in the wings, landing gear, housing, fan blades, and pumps within the engine. 

Nickel Alloys

Nickel alloys can resist high temperatures and corrosion. They are also structurally tough having excellent creep resistance properties. These alloys are often used to make the turbines of the aircraft engines due to the immense heat the engine is exposed to. Nickel alloys retain their strength at raised temperatures and hence, they are perfect for this function. They are also found in exhaust valves, thermostat rods, tanks, and piping for liquefied gas storage. 

The United Arab Emirates economy is fueled by tourism. One of the biggest contributors is the thriving aviation. 

The country holds immense potential in aircraft metal recycling. As discussed above, aluminium is used in huge proportion in aircrafts. Metal scrap companies in Dubai are equipped to efficiently recycle and reuse the same. Lucky Recycling, part of Lucky group is the leading metal recycling companies in Dubai that deploys energy efficient recycling methods to recycle variety of metals found in an aircraft. Not only does it step-up in making the planet greener, but also contribute towards the country’s constant demand for recycled metal.

How Does Stainless Steel Contribute to the Food Industry?

Food comes in contact with metals in stages of its processing. To prevent transfer of harmful elements from metals to food, it is important to understand the type of interaction and select the suitable metal for food handling depending on the food processing. 

Stainless steel is extensively used in food industry due to their inherent resistance to corrosion. It can be formed into complex shapes and sterilized without deterioration. Also, it also does not impart any color and flavor to food, making it ideal for the food industry.

Most of the stainless steel used in food industry contains chromium in the range of 16 – 18 %. This provides optimum corrosion resistance in wide range of food and beverage media. A great example of industry-level usage includes brewing vessels, storage facilities, and milk tankers. 

Austenitic grades are used for storage and transportation of corrosive food products. For food containing salt, grades containing Molybdenum are suitable. 

316L/1.4404 is referred to as “food grade” in food industry. Another popular grade is 304L/1.4307.

Ferritic stainless steel is magnetic in nature and is used in household appliances. It offers corrosion resistance for when high corrosion resistance is not required. 

Martensitic grades have high levels of carbon and is hardened by heat treatment. This is used where high wear resistance is required.  420/1.4021 is used for the making knives. It retains sharpness even after prolonged use. 

Duplex grades offer high resistance to corrosion caused by saline solutions at high temperatures. It is used in custard and vinegar making, manufacturing of sauces, cheese making, and fish-canning plants. 

Selecting the correct grade of steel and alloys in food industry is a very important decision. It involves considerable costs in terms of procuring and set-up. Dubai is one of the biggest gastro-hubs. This means the demand for stainless steel is constant. This however also means stainless steel scrap ends up in Dubai scrap yards.

With the extent of stainless steel used in the food industry, it is only wise to ensure that it is recycled and reused. Metal recycling companies in Dubai, like Lucky Group specializes in efficient and sustainable metal recycling. Recycling and reusing is a step towards sustainable and greener planet and is a need of the hour. Lucky Recycling, part of Lucky Group, employs advanced techniques and technology to realize their aim of promoting sustainability.

Have an old car that nobody wants?

Recycling Mantra - Contributes towards sustainability and ensures optimum usage of resources.

So you ended up keeping and maintaining that old car over the years, but now with the new emission norms, it can no longer be driven. That old beauty which you have used down the years has now turned into a beast of burden that nobody wants to buy.

A lot of car lovers get stuck up in such situations where they simply cannot get rid of a vehicle. This can happen over time because they get too outdated or because their maintenance costs increase to a level that they become too expensive to own. Rising fuel costs are not too helpful in such a situation either.

The next best thing that one could do is find another owner or let it just lie there in the parking lot getting covered in dust. After a couple of months, such vehicles eventually end up getting scrapped at the junk yards.

What does one do? If you love the environment, the best thing you could do, is to take your vehicle to a car recycler. Car recyclers are not scrap buyers in Dubai! They are a team of field experts who would disassemble or shred your car completely, in a step-by-step manner. They would either quote you a lumsum price for your car or give you a price for the different parts individually. 

This helps the environment by not discarding the entire car, with all the lubricants, and oils intact, which eventually leak out (including toxic substances from batteries) and damage the environment. Additionally the car owner get better value as well that helps channel the various metals that can be used and helps them reach scrap metal yards in Dubai. 

Metal scrap companies in Dubai would then segregate the ferrous & non-ferrous scrap metals and re-process them into raw materials suitable for various industries around the world  or melt them into ingots which gets delivered to manufacturers; eventually reaching the production line as a new product.

So the next time you know someone who is about to junk their car, tell them what they could do to help save the environment.

Scrap Business Ethics

The world of metal recycling depends on scrap metal businesses to locate, collect and process various metals for further consumption by manufacturing facilities. By operating a scrap metal business, a business owner can make a positive impact on the environment by diverting waste from landfills thus contributing to the economy and environment.  

Like any other organization, scrap businesses also require rules and regulations but additionally it is also important to have business ethics. By virtue of ethics, these are a set of principles in which the company operates based on integrity, honesty and loyalty.

The primary function of the scrap metal business is to procure scrap metals and while dealing with the scrap materials, the metal scrap yards in Dubai should ensure that the source of the material should be reliable and legal. 

Dubai scrap trading companies should ensure to purchase all materials legally and supply it to trustworthy recycling companies in UAE. 

Everyone in the organization should be ethical and must abide by the rules and regulations set by the local authorities to have a smooth functioning of the scrap business. We at Lucky Group stand by our responsibilities and work diligently to provide best services to all metal scrap companies in Dubai.

Air quality & its link to Covid-19

For healthy homes & work environments, it is crucial   to improve its air quality especially where the whole world is in a health crisis due to COVID-19 and taking maximum precautions.

Improving wellness while staying at home or at work during this disruptive situation is the most relevant discussions everywhere. It is recommended by experts to maintain a balanced and healthy lifestyle specially who are sensitive to allergens or have a respiratory underlying issues to prevent COVID-19 infection. .

Experts advice that during this pandemics we must attempt to breathe fresh air or purify our domestic air quality. Cleaning your AC filters is one of the ways to improve indoor air quality which can help in avoiding serious illnesses.  You can, however, do certain cleaning and maintenance tasks yourself to ensure efficient operation.  If you don’t, then the air flow will be restricted, reducing efficiency and you will recirculate dust into your home or at work which will  affect your overall health system and may cause asthma or may cause  difficulty in breathing or similar respiratory issues.

Also, if you don’t do this maintenance before summer arrives, you may end up with higher amount of service charges to be paid.

Have we ever noticed why Air conditioners cost so much more to cool down a house or work place because the purpose of the air conditioner is to remove heat from the air and vent it outside? One of the components of an air conditioner that allows it to do this are the condenser coils in also known as radiators.

An air conditioner condenser coil is made up of copper tubes and aluminum fins which help in circulating cool air through those tubes freely and it is important that these condenser coils must be maintained and kept clean.

As a homeowner if you see your AC is not working and it is the time to replace with new then you should remove important components from your AC like condenser coils, compressor, wires, iron and others components which needs to be disposed-off at the dedicated recycling center.

Lucky Group has facilitated at their Dubai scrap yards for proper recycling of scrap metals such as air conditioners.

You may also approach metal scrap companies in Dubai for free disposal at their doorstep.

Trash to Treasure

Photo reference: From Lucky Group archives

We have heard the old saying, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure”. These days when we all are on the environmental radar and aim towards being more nature conscious. One may not find a diamond in the Dubai scrap yards but creatively using the “trash” that is already there will not lift your work-space aesthetics but leads you towards a more environment-friendly lifestyle. 

Most of the items found in the scrap yards can be up-cycled with minimum of efforts and can save your money rather than buying new products. 

“Restyle your work-space”

• While looking at scrap metal yards in Dubai, you may find copper scrap, copper wires can be converted into a great art piece by reshaping it as a flower and it can act as centerpiece for your office desk. 
• Metal frames can be reused as a great wall organizer, add some paint, shelf and hooks to it and you have your own wall organizer.
• Paint Buckets or Big Tin Cans can be creatively converted into an ice bucket for your mini bar or act as a great decor piece for a corner.
•  Planters for your herb garden made out of old tin cans are one the best ways to reuse it and can also be revamped to store office stationery. 

Most of the above mentioned materials are easily available at home or you can buy from any metal scrap companies in Dubai. And by putting such minimal efforts you can instantly add an interesting touch to your office work-space decor and convert the trash to treasure. 

Educate viewers about waste recycling through global media

According to some researchers, it is argued that humans tend to remember visuals seen on a screen rather than the words read in a text. Have you ever wondered why is the case? Because visual media helps retain concepts and ideas. Research suggests that people learn more easily when the information is presented in a visual form.

Educating waste recycling through media sources like movies or documentaries offers both intellectual and effective experiences to live sustainable life style.

From animated short movies to a film about waste landfills, there are many documentary films that will force anyone to watch about their waste and how to make better use of it.

Like Trashed, 2012, this film concludes by highlighting zero waste initiatives around the world as well as cities pushing for mandatory recycling and composting programs.

In order to live sustainable and waste free life style there are now several metal scrap companies in Dubai operating in the Dubai scrap trading sector, who will buy those metals for the purpose of reuse which we trash into landfills or at trash drums.

Through the recycling process, we get several other valuable metals, such as Aluminum and Copper that belong to non-ferrous metal categories. Companies that buy these valuable metals, besides the stainless steel scrap in Dubai, these metals also fetch more money than the ferrous metals as they are way costlier.

Also there are many other companies available that buy ferrous scrap in Dubai which are ranked in giving high quality services to their customers in improving the environment for better living quality life.

Household scrap metals

Do you know that many household items can be recycled?

Used beverage cans, used at homes, at work places, at universities and at events, which can be recycled rather than thrown away. 

Batteries from domestic items like mobile phones, remote control or torch put it in special bag due to hazardous contents can be dispose-off at recycling industries.

Aerosols or sprays are made from steel and aluminium also used in household for recyclable purpose. 

Insulated copper wire used in electrical wirings, big and small appliances and other electronic devices are yet another common scrap metals.

Stainless steel is mainly used in kitchen items makes recycling industry economically viable when it scraped properly.

Copper pipes and brass fittings found in your bathrooms and kitchen fittings at the time of renovation can be recycled by sending it to Metal scrap companies in Dubai.

Recycling rubber & its tyres both are vital for our environment and economy.  Rubber tube scrap Dubai is your source for collecting butyl rubber tube around the globe.

Aluminium clean foil for food items are easier to be recycled if it is properly sorted.

Perhaps, your old or unused car and its components like wheels, radiators are one of the common sources of scrap metals.

Tin cans which are made of tin-coated steel specially used in food packaging containers.

Recycling is the process of collecting of metal scrap from waste land and related industries and then diverting it to metal recycling industry.

Appliances like AC’s & other electrical motors will add additional revenue in your income by disposing off to recycling centers when it becomes scrap. 

Dubai scrap yards made it easier by providing best services to its customers in collecting domestic metals.

Iron or steel products such as furniture or decoration items and many other household items can easily be found around your house. 

Non-ferrous scrap metals and its recycling provide both environmental and economic benefits. 

Garbage and its proper sorting into different metals for recyclable purpose can add value to your business.

Recycling Scrap Metal Made Easy

Whenever one thinks to recycle, his or her mind apparently goes to bottles of plastic or containers. Newspapers are also a part many people’s recycling stack. But have you ever considered recycling metal scrap? Did you know how much more value or return recycling scrap metal can provide than plastic, paper or glass? If not then read on, and start acquiring and recycling scrap metal from today!

Where do you find scrap metal?
Scrap metal is often thrown away in dust bins that ultimately land up in big dumping grounds or pits which can be otherwise recycled. Metal scrap items like titanium, iron and copper can be easily recycled for cash at various local scrap yards.

Many scrap yards source their metal scrap in huge quantities from trade verticals or industries. However, individuals can recycle their scrap metal pile at these scrap yards and earn good money.

Separate before recycling
Ensure you separate the metal by type from the heap. It is important, considering each metal type (from silver to copper) is individually weighed and paid (as per the metal type’s current value). Hence, separating metal by type and then recycling at the scrap yard helps you to get the optimal value for your scrap metal.

Categories Of Scrap Metals You Should Know

There are a wide range of scrap metals you can recycle. But did you know that all of them can be categorised into two subsets?

A typical scrap yard will accept all kinds of metals which are then processed to manufacture a whole new range of items. On the other hand, some scrap metal yards accept only a certain category of scrap metals.

In any case, it is important that you know the categories in which the recyclable scrap metals are split into to get optimal price for your scrap metals.

Non-ferrous – Let’s first talk about the non-ferrous category. The scrap metals that fall in this category feature those other than steel and iron. A few examples include brass, copper, aluminum (which include cans and foil paper), nickel, and zinc.

Ferrous – As we discussed above, iron and steel fall into this category known as ferrous metals. Ferrous metals form a significant part of elements like appliances, railroad tracks, (food packaging contains mostly aluminium not ferrous and ships.

Conclusion
In everyday life, you can easily identify certain metals which you don’t use anymore and they eventually land in the landfill. But what if you could earn money recycling them at a scrap metal yard? Apart from that, you contribute to the welfare of environment by not letting the harmful metals come in contact with land or water and polluting such vital life-giving resources. We are a renowned metal scrap company in Dubai dealing in recycling of many ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

How Metal Scrap Recycling Has Increased Manufacturing Supply Chain Around The Globe

Metal recycling has played a significant role in filling the gap with regards to availability of precious metals like aluminium, brass, copper, silver and gold. Scrap Metal Recycling has aided in the process of preventing wastage of metals which are rather used as raw materials. This has ultimately fuelled theglobal manufacturing supply chain.

Global phenomena

Today, you can see various companies working towards recycling every type of metal. Globally, companies recycle an average of 90 million tons of iron and steel, 2 million tons of copper, 5 million tons of aluminium and 2 million tons of stainless steel each year; making it a global phenomenon supporting world economy and trade. This has greatly contributed towards strengthening resource sustainability.

Metal scrap recycling- now a hi-tech industry

Metal scrap recycling is an industry that is profuse in thousands of employees working to convert scrap metals into useful metals, thus making it a significant industry that provides job opportunities. Another big advantage of scrap metal recycling is that the process can be used to work on metals for multiple times without affecting the metal’s original properties.

Metal scrap recycling is used to derive useful metals

Copper and aluminium are the most recycled metals. Scrap trading professionals buy and sell metals which then reach the recycling plants where it is recycled to derive new raw material that contains original metal properties. Scrap metals like aluminium soda cans, auto parts, and doors, are some typical items recycled on a regular basis to derive useful metals.

Oil Rates Have An Impact on Rates of Metal Scrap?

If the prices of oil dwindle, does it have any effect on the value of scrap metals? Yes, the oil prices have an impact on prices of all items from scrap metals to commodities like plastic. Since the oil prices fluctuate periodically, and often, they do affect the prices of scrap metals in many ways.

How do oil rates impact rates of metal scrap?

Consider oil rates surge. It will make it pricier to run the machines and to take care of their maintenance. This overhead will also impact production cost of metals driving the rates higher. If the metal prices go up, naturally the scrap metal prices will also surge. Similarly when oil rates go down, the reverse effect in the prices of metal scrap takes place.

The impact is unpredictable but can be felt throughout the globe

You cannot be sure that when oil prices shoot up, rates of metal scrap will also rise.
