Rec-Kos is one of the largest companies in Southeast Europe in the metal recycling industry. The company collects, processes, sorts and trades non-ferrous metals, electronics, waste plastics and waste oils. Rec-Kos is primarily an exporter of recyclable scrap metal, securing it in Kosovo, processing it for reuse and selling it as raw material to foundries and steelworks. Mainly the collected material is bought by companies that extract old parts from depreciations and sell them under various contracts and tenders, scrap dealers, local authorities as well as public suppliers. A small amount is also bought from some street vendors.
