About the Scrap Market in Cherthala

Cherthala in Kerala's Alappuzha district occupies a narrow strip between the Arabian Sea and the backwaters, where coir processing, fishing boat maintenance, and small-scale electronics assembly define the industrial profile. The marine environment accelerates metal degradation, creating a robust replacement-driven scrap cycle.

Marine-grade steel from fishing boat hulls, though often heavily corroded, still trades at ₹18–₹24/kg in Cherthala's coastal market. Copper nails and fittings from traditional wooden boat construction fetch ₹380–₹430/kg, while aluminium from electronics assembly rejects averages ₹85–₹110/kg.

Salt corrosion significantly impacts scrap grading in Cherthala—rinsing marine scrap with fresh water before sale helps preserve value. Fishing boat owners replacing steel hulls should coordinate with local boat-breaking yards for systematic dismantling and maximum material recovery. The Alappuzha town scrap market, 15 km south, provides access to dealers who specialise in marine-grade metal recycling.
