Minor Metals Companies in Jiangsu, China (2026 Directory, 121 listed)

This directory includes 121 entities in Jiangsu Province related to minor metals, covering the recycling, refining, processing and trading segments for tungsten-molybdenum, antimony-tin-bismuth, indium-germanium-gallium, selenium-tellurium, cobalt-nickel, titanium-zirconium, tantalum-niobium and other varieties. It also includes processors of minor-metal-bearing scrap such as cemented carbide, spent catalysts, targets and battery materials. The information is mainly taken from pollutant discharge permits, hazardous waste operating permits, hazardous waste transfer and administrative penalty disclosures of ecology and environment authorities, as well as public registration and filing information from market regulation and commerce authorities, and has been cross-checked and compiled into entries. The directory only answers: which operating entities exist and roughly which segment they operate in. It is not a substitute for on-site factory visits, nor for verification of original qualification documents. It is suitable for peers engaged in minor metal procurement, scrap recycling, tolling and supply chain compliance auditing, and also for out-of-province buyers new to sourcing from the province to use for preliminary screening.

3. How to verify these companies

1. Hazardous waste operating permit: Check the hazardous waste operating permit disclosure section on the official website of the provincial department of ecology and environment, or the National Solid Waste Management Information System. Focus on verifying the permit number, approved waste categories (HW codes), approved operating scale and validity period, and confirm that the material you intend to deliver falls within its approved categories; do not rely solely on the other party saying they can accept it. 2. Pollutant discharge permit: Check on the National Pollutant Discharge Permit Management Information Platform to see whether it is still within its validity period and what the industry category and main products are. Be alert if the permitted production capacity differs greatly from the output it claims orally. 3. EIA approval and acceptance: Disclosure is generally available on the website of the local ecology and environment bureau. Check the approval document number and acceptance opinion, and see whether the permitted process is hydrometallurgical or pyrometallurgical and whether it involves heavy metal wastewater discharge. 4. Business license and renewable resource recycling operator filing: Check the business scope and whether it is listed in the business abnormality directory on the National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System; the renewable resource recycling filing can be verified with the local commerce department. 5. Penalty records: Search the company name in Credit China and the administrative penalty disclosures of the local ecology and environment bureau, focusing on records involving excessive heavy metals, illegal transfer and dumping, or operating without a permit, etc. For those with prior violations, ask clearly about the rectification status.

4. What to watch out for

Minor metals involve high value and large measurement disputes. The most problematic area is the settlement basis: actual ton or metal ton, what grade discount applies, how moisture is deducted, whose assay report is authoritative, and which third party conducts the re-assay. These must be fixed in the contract before shipment. Sampling must be witnessed by both parties and samples must be retained; do not accept results from unilateral testing. For zirconium and rare earth associated materials, clarify the radioactivity test report and transport procedures. Hazardous waste must go through transfer manifests; if the invoice, goods and manifest do not match, both the accounts and the goods will be troublesome later. If you encounter a quote obviously lower than peers and they are eager for cash, check qualifications first before discussing business.
