Recycling Companies in Shanxi, China (2026 Directory, 124 listed)

This directory contains 124 renewable resource recycling enterprises in Shanxi Province that are in the database, covering recycling, sorting and processing operators in categories such as scrap steel, scrap nonferrous metals, scrap plastics, scrap paper, and waste electrical and electronic products. The information comes from the integration of public channels, including market regulation registration information, the National Pollutant Discharge Permit Management Information Platform, public announcements of hazardous waste operating permit issuance, administrative penalty announcements by ecological environment departments, and recycling operator filing information from commerce departments, and excludes self-reported capacity, output and quotation data. It is suitable for renewable resource buyers, waste generators and peers for channel mapping and preliminary screening. The directory only answers “which enterprises exist”; specific qualification status and actual operating conditions still need to be verified enterprise by enterprise.

2. Company list (40 of 124)

"Verifiable" = a unified social credit code for this company can be found in public Chinese registries. The full list of 124 companies is at https://www.guilinmetals.com/en/companies.

3. How to verify these companies

Verification follows five steps. Step one: check the entity. Search by name or unified social credit code in the Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System, and check whether the registration status is active, whether the business scope includes renewable resource recycling or processing, and whether it is listed in the business abnormality list. Step two: check recycling filing. This industry implements operator filing management; the filing information and business premises can be verified with the local commerce department or on the Ministry of Commerce unified business system platform. Step three: check the pollutant discharge permit. For those involving dismantling, crushing, washing or smelting, verify on the National Pollutant Discharge Permit Management Information Platform, and check the industry category, validity period and permitted discharge content. Step four: check hazardous waste qualifications. For those collecting waste lead-acid batteries, waste mineral oil or metal-bearing sludge, check the provincial ecological environment department’s public announcement of hazardous waste operating permits, and verify the approved categories, operating scale and validity period; collection and transport beyond the approved scope is the most common problem. Step five: check penalty records. Search the enterprise name in Credit China and local ecological environment department public announcements to see whether there have been any solid waste or hazardous waste related penalties in the past three years.

4. What to watch out for

The directory is only a set of leads and does not mean verification has already been completed. There are four common problems: first, resale traders posing as processing plants; you can request to see the site, weighbridge tickets and inbound/outbound material records for the past three months; second, separation of invoice and goods, where the invoice header does not match the actual receiver; third, unclear pricing rules; for scrap nonferrous metals, moisture, impurity deductions and the metal content basis must be examined, and these must be written into the contract; fourth, hazardous waste-type goods are transferred when the qualification chain is incomplete, and the risk ultimately falls on the waste generator. For first-time cooperation, small batches and simultaneous payment and goods are recommended, with no large advance payment.

5. Sources and notes

• Being listed is not an endorsement and says nothing about a company's current operating status; verify credentials before doing business.
