Recycling Companies in Shandong, China (2026 Directory, 388 listed)

This directory contains 388 recycling enterprises in Shandong Province, covering common categories such as scrap metal, scrap plastic, waste paper, and scrap rubber. The information is mainly sourced from public data from ecological environment departments, including pollutant discharge permits, environmental impact assessments, and hazardous waste operation permits, as well as enterprise registration information from market supervision departments. It has been consolidated and deduplicated. It is suitable for scrap suppliers, processing plants, recycled product buyers, and investors. The enterprises in this directory are mainly engaged in recycling, sorting, processing, and utilization, and do not include pure logistics or trading companies.

3. How to verify these companies

To verify the qualifications of such enterprises, you can start from the following aspects: 1. Check the business license: Log in to the National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System to confirm that the business scope includes renewable resource recycling or processing, and pay attention to the establishment date and abnormal operation records. 2. Check the pollutant discharge permit: Query on the 'National Pollutant Discharge Permit Management Information Platform' to confirm whether the enterprise holds a pollutant discharge permit or has completed pollutant discharge registration. Note the difference between a permit and registration; processing enterprises generally need a permit. 3. Check hazardous waste qualifications: If hazardous waste such as waste mineral oil or waste batteries is involved, check the hazardous waste operation permit published by the provincial ecological environment department, and verify the categories and validity period. 4. Check the EIA filing: On the official website of the ecological environment department, check whether the construction project EIA filing has been completed and confirm the corresponding approval. 5. Check industry access: For special categories such as scrapped motor vehicle dismantling, qualification recognition from the commerce department is required. You can check the publicized list from the local commerce bureau. When verifying, check whether the certificate number, issuance date, and expiration date are consistent, and whether the actual business site matches the registered address.

4. What to watch out for

Common pitfalls in this category include: 1. Qualification affiliation: The other party claims to have a certificate but actually borrows someone else's. You should verify the certificate holder and the on-site responsible person. 2. Environmental joint liability risk: If you purchase scrap materials from illegal sources, you may be held accountable. You should stipulate environmental liability in the contract. 3. Measurement fraud: Weighbridge remote control or inflated moisture content. It is best to send your own personnel to supervise weighing or use a third-party scale. 4. Price reneging after the transaction: This often happens during market fluctuations. It is recommended to lock in the price and pay a deposit in advance, and keep written documents. Start with small trial orders, then gradually expand, and inspect the sorting and processing capabilities on site.
