Iron and Steel: Recycling
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment his Department has made of the potential economic and environmental benefits of retaining a greater proportion of UK-generated steel scrap for domestic Electric Arc Furnace use.
Answered by Chris McDonald
The Government recognises that the UK steel industry's shift towards electric arc furnaces will elevate the importance of high-quality scrap as a material for UK steelmaking. The Government has not performed an assessment of the economic impact of retaining scrap. However, we are actively listening to the perspectives of all involved parties.
