RASA welcomed the Competition Commission’s dawn raids (13 February 2026) on major scrap metal buyers as part of an investigation into alleged coordinated price-fixing of shredded and processed scrap metal.
Coverage emphasised RASA’s call to dismantle buyer-side cartels, suspend the PPS, conduct a forensic investigation into its manipulation, and remove export taxes to foster fair competition, reduce barriers for small businesses, informal collectors, waste pickers, and historically disadvantaged firms, and restore market equilibrium.
