Seahawk Recycling is a Japanese recycling trading company that operates as an intermediary between sellers and buyers of waste paper and scrap metal. The company does not own significant processing facilities; it instead matches suppliers with B2B customers, such as pulp mills, smelters, and other trading firms. Seahawk's waste paper business includes sourcing materials from Japan and the U.S. to supply manufacturers throughout East and Southeast Asia. Its scrap metal operations primarily involve purchasing discarded appliances and dismantled metal wires in Japan for domestic resale or export. Seahawk employs an asset-light business model, arranging third-party logistics on a per-deal basis and using a proprietary matching system to coordinate transactions. The company generates revenue from the spread between acquisition costs and sale prices. Because it operates with narrow margins, Seahawk prioritizes high transaction volumes to drive profit. Seahawk's strategy focuses on expanding cross-border trade flows, upgrading its matching technology with artificial intelligence, and diversifying into additional recyclable materials like plastics, glass, and organic waste.
