The Story of Second Chances

Metal is one of the few materials on earth that never loses its strength.
It can be melted, reshaped, and reused without ever losing its core. Yet, for decades, so much of it has been treated as disposable, used once and forgotten.
Universal Recycling Company was born from a simple belief: metal deserves a second chance.
We set out to give that chance meaning, not just for the environment, but for the industries that rely on it every single day.
India generates more than 25 million tonnes of metal scrap each year, yet only a fraction of it is efficiently recycled. The rest sits unused, even as industries continue to depend on mined resources.
At URC, we saw an opportunity in this imbalance to turn what was once waste into the very foundation of progress.

Our Story

Our journey began where India’s manufacturing heartbeat lies, in its foundries.

Foundries need dependable metal, and we wanted to become the name they could trust for consistency, transparency, and quality.

We started small, creating foundry-ready bundles made entirely from recycled scrap. Every bundle was designed for smooth melting, uniform composition, and efficient output, helping foundries improve productivity while reducing waste.

Over time, this approach became our purpose. URC grew from a recycling initiative into one of India’s most reliable foundry bundle producers and metal recycling partners, powering industries with materials that are both high in quality and low in environmental impact.
Why We Do It
Every tonne of scrap recycled saves 1.1 tonnes of iron ore, 630 kilograms of coal, and reduces energy use by nearly 17 percent. It also cuts water consumption by 40 percent and emissions by almost 58 percent (Source: PIB, Government of India). These numbers matter because they reflect what we stand for, progress that does not come at the planet’s cost. Every piece of scrap we recover supports industries while protecting the planet and advancing global sustainability goals. Responsible Consumption and Production – Reducing waste and maximizing resource efficiency

Climate Action – Lowering energy use, emissions, and environmental impact

Clean Water and Energy Savings – Cutting water consumption and promoting energy-efficient recycling

Industry Innovation and Infrastructure – Providing high-quality recycled metals that drive sustainable industrial growth

Sustainable Cities and Communities – Helping industries and corporates manage scrap responsibly for a cleaner environment

With URC, recycling becomes a step toward a smarter, greener, and more circular economy.

We believe that the metal already in circulation can power the industries of tomorrow, reducing the need for new mining and helping India move closer to a circular economy.
What We Do

Foundry Bundles at the Core
Our core strength lies in designing and supplying high-quality foundry bundles that deliver consistent melting performance and stable output. Each bundle we produce helps foundries work smarter, reduce costs, and maintain the highest production standards.

Responsible Scrap Recycling
Our process begins long before a bundle is made. We collect, sort, and process metal scrap from factories, workshops, and corporates across India. Our transparent system ensures that every piece of scrap we handle is accounted for, processed responsibly, and returned to use as valuable material.

Closing the Loop Recycling, for us, is not a service, it is a cycle. By bringing scrap back into production, we help industries reduce their dependence on mining and lower their environmental footprint. What starts as scrap in one place becomes strength in another.
Our Promise

Quality you can rely on – Foundry bundles crafted to perform with consistency and care.

Transparency you can trust – Clear, traceable operations from pickup to delivery.

Sustainability that counts – Every piece recycled helps conserve resources and reduce emissions

Partnership that lasts – Supporting industries with solutions that make business and the planet stronger.
