What types of stainless steel does Nord Holding buy out?
Stainless steel is known for its high corrosion resistance and durability, thanks to the alloy of iron, chromium and nickel, which makes it extremely strong and rust-resistant.
Stainless steel is categorized as a ferrous metal, but it is not attracted to a magnet. It is a steel alloy containing chromium and nickel in different ratios.
The following types of stainless steel scrap are accepted at our recycling depots:
Nord Holding buys this scrap in a variety of shapes and sizes, including pieces, turnings and slabs – stainless steel with 8% Ni, stainless steel with 9% Ni, stainless steel with 10% Ni. Maximum dimensions 50 х 50 х 1500 mm or 70 х 70 х 90 mm. Free of other metals, sand, moisture, oiling. We also buy chrome-nickel steel turnings, uncontaminated and free from ferrous and non-metallic attachments. To be free of iron, sand, moisture and excessive oiling.
When accepting stainless steel scrap, it is checked for radioactivity and categorized according to Nord Holding’s specification based on origin and nickel content.
The nickel content is determined using a chemical analysis device. After acceptance, the stainless steel scrap is sorted, cut into specific sizes, baled if necessary and forwarded to recycling facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Recycling process
In theory, stainless steel waste is 100% recyclable. The chromium,
nickel and molybdenum contained in their composition are extremely valuable raw materials with a high value.
Stainless steel waste is recycled by being used in the production of new stainless steel.
The production of stainless steel uses roughly:
Benefits
REDUCTION OF PRODUCTION
COSTS AND ENERGY CONSUMPTION
The production of stainless steel using scrap reduces energy consumption (by about 30%) and raw material consumption.
PRESERVING PRIMARY RAW MATERIALS
The recycled content in stainless steel products made with waste input is around 60%.
EASY ACCESS TO RAW MATERIALS
FOR PRODUCTION
Stainless steel waste occurs
in every single country, while the raw
materials are localized and their acquisition requires
more costs, including for transportation.
