About the conference

Scrap-based steelmaking via the EAF route offers significantly low emissions intensity compared to the traditional BF-BOF route, aligning with global decarbonization efforts. Prices for scrap steel have seen substantial variability, reflecting global economic conditions and disruptions in supply chains.

 

This conference aims to bring together industry leaders, experts, and stakeholders from around the world to share market insights, best practices, and technological advancements in scrap steel management. By fostering international collaboration, we aim to enhance the efficiency and environmental impact of the steel recycling process, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable and circular economy.

 

Key Focus Areas

  • Future EAF and scrap supply and demand
  • The scrap industry's approach to the coming changes
  • Evolving scrap recycling technology
  • Regulations impact on international scrap trading

 

Conference Features

  • 13 speakers covering US, EU, Turkey and most of Asia key scrap markets
  • Scrap demand is expected to increase with the increase in EAF capacity in each country, and we forecast scrap supply and demand in major countries.
  • Understand the situation in the leading EU markets, such as the introduction of CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Measure in Europe)
  • Introduction of future strategies by China's largest scrap processor and distributor with huge capacity
