What Akaar does

A trading desk, not a marketplace.

We don't list and disappear. We sit between two sides of a global supply chain and take responsibility for the whole lane — sourcing the right grade, proving its quality, handling the paperwork, and making sure it arrives the way it was promised.

01

Source with confidence

A vetted supplier base across the US, South Africa and Europe, built over a decade. Every origin is qualified for consistent grade, clean baling and dependable volume.

02

Prove the quality

Pre-shipment inspection, contamination control and ISRI / EN643-aligned grading. Buyers know exactly what's in the container before it sails — no surprises at the mill gate.

03

Handle the paperwork

Proforma to OBL, Certificate of Origin, PSIC, self-declarations and customs forms — managed end to end. DGFT-compliant and Basel-aware, so shipments clear without delay.

04

Move it reliably

Containerised logistics with established shipping partners and discharge into India, Thailand, Vietnam and Indonesia. We track each lane and keep both sides informed at every milestone.

05

Settle with certainty

Bank-to-bank documentary collection or direct courier — structured to protect both buyer and supplier. Clear terms, clean documents, predictable cash flow.

06

Build the relationship

Most of our volume moves with partners we've worked alongside for years. We're judged on the next decade, not the next deal — and we trade that way.

The grades we trade

Know exactly what's in the bale.

Recovered fibre and recycled polymer, graded to international standard and matched to what your line actually needs. Browse the grades we move most — and ask us about anything that isn't listed.

How material moves

A network in motion, lane by lane.

We source where quality recovered material is generated and deliver where it's needed most. Every lane is a relationship — qualified suppliers on one side, established mills and processors on the other.

How we work

Every shipment, the same discipline.

Behind every container is a process we've refined over a decade — documentation handled correctly the first time, checked at every stage, so material clears customs and reaches your line without friction.

Talk to our desk
01
Indent & Offer

We understand the requirement

The buyer's indent comes in, we confirm grade, origin, volume, port and terms, and issue a proforma invoice — every detail checked before it reaches you.

02
Sourcing & Loading

Material is sourced and loaded

A qualified supplier loads to spec. We capture the invoice and packing list, assign the shipment reference, and the lane is officially in motion.

03
Bill of Lading

Shipping instructions, verified

We draft and verify BL instructions — consignee, notify party, ports, containers, weights, seals — and review every draft line by line before anything is finalised.

04
Documentation

The full document set is prepared

Packing list, invoice, Certificate of Origin, self-declaration and customs forms — compiled, shared with you for approval, and corrected until they're exactly right.

05
Inspection & OBL

Inspected, then released

Once you approve, the BL goes to the PSIC team for inspection certification. On the original BL, final documents are completed and dated.

06
Settlement

Documents dispatched, deal closed

Bank-to-bank documentary collection or direct courier — whichever fits the relationship. Scanned, acknowledged, and dispatched. Clean close, every time.

Why partners stay

Reliability you can build a year around.

01

Years in the trade

Trading recovered paper and plastics from Sharjah since 2019, backed by a desk carrying 60+ combined years of experience in recovered commodities. We've traded through the cycles — and we trade through them still.

02

Quality you can verify

Pre-shipment inspection and ISRI / EN643-aligned grading mean what's on the document is what's in the container. Contamination control protects your line.

03

Compliance handled

SAIF Zone licensed, DGFT-compliant and Basel-aware. The documentation that delays other shipments is exactly where we're strongest.

04

Relationships over transactions

Most of our volume moves with partners we've worked with for years. We protect both sides of the trade because we intend to do it again next quarter.

We don't sell containers. We keep our partners' lines running — and that's a different business entirely.

"We've supplied Akaar for years. They pay on terms, communicate clearly, and treat the relationship as a partnership — not a one-off deal. That's rare in this trade."
