    New from Bangladesh

    I'm Kalam. Just now joined this forum to know about scrap metal business. Bangladesh is using a huge scrap metal from old ships all over the year. Because of that ship breaking industry is growing here very rapidly.

    Welcome from Massachusetts, USA. How is the weather? Is there any computers you could scrap for ewaste? Computers are easier to scrap than ship's.

    Welcome to the forum. I am wondering if there are any electronics left to scrap when the ships make it to be scraped? I broke down 13 commerical boat radar units. The radar units had high grade boards and the housings were aluminmum. Perhaps you can find a niche with ewaste. Mike

    This is a monsoon area. The main four seasons are Spring, Winter, Summer and Rainy season.

    As far as I know there is a little chance to scrap computers for ewaste in Bangladesh because of utmost utilization by the users here.

    The electronic goods found in the old ships are mostly in good condition usually used by our local people. Thanks for your interest though. I'll look for electronic scraps there.

    Maybe your niche would be importing what we consider scrap computers to utilize there?
