east asia ferrous scrap share for steelmaking among lowest in the world: Bir

摘要

Ferrous scrap use relative to crude steel production in East Asia, home to half of the world’s six largest steel-producing countries, continues to lag behind the rest of the world. In 2018, the ratio of steel scrap use to crude steel production was 20.2% in China, 35% in Japan and 41.4% in South Korea, according to global recycling figures released this week by the Bureau of International Recycling at its World Recycling Convention & Exhibition in Singapore.
