Strategic Sourcing Guide to Scrap Removal Procurement

Overview

The market for Waste Management Services and its sub-segments such as Scrap Removal are at an interesting intersection. Government regulation in North America, Europe and parts of APAC have compelled the local companies to reduce the volume of waste generated. Suppliers of Scrap Removal are trying to compensate for the lowering volume growth with high margin value-added services but the most common response so far has been an increase in pricing structure.

Companies are putting a great premium on sustainability and green practices within their entire value chain and business operations. Suppliers are not only expected to understand these practices but also have a solid history of demonstrating similar principles in their operations. Therefore, suppliers that guarantee minimal emissions in their operations are increasingly finding favors.

Stringent laws and evolving business practices are emphasizing on worker safety more forcefully than ever. Although developed regions of the world have already achieved a great degree of maturity in reducing occupational hazards, emerging markets are still navigating that curve. As a result, most suppliers from developing regions are still investing in pro-safety business practices which ultimately increase their operational costs and the overall cost of procurement for buyers.

Trends like these and many others discussed in this report are necessitating a relook at the way Scrap Removal is procured and the procurement cost saving opportunities that exist.

For example, Buyers prefer engaging with suppliers that have a regional presence. Such engagement helps buyers to avail volume-based discounts due to consolidation of solutions across multiple locations within a single region.

Buyers should engage with suppliers that provide waste management solution based on their industry specific needs. Suppliers should be able to provide different waste management solutions that are specific to the type, location or volume of waste. Also, suppliers need to have scalability to offer the desired customization based on diversified requirements of buyers.

Timely monitoring and inspection of waste management systems, processes or equipment is critical in taking the contract renewal decisions. A dedicated team of experts from the buyer's organization should conduct timely reviews and inspection to assess the performance of current solutions and use those intervention points to better negotiate at the time of contract renewal.
