Volkswirtschaftliche Bedeutung der Stahlschrottrecyclingwirtschaft
Steel is a key raw material for numerous industrial sectors in Germany and Europe. At the same time, the implementation of circular economy goals increasingly requires the establishment of closed cycles for steel in order to conserve resources and reduce CO2 emissions. These developments have led to (stainless) steel scrap becoming a key sustainable resource for the German and European economy and gaining central economic importance for numerous sectors and the economy as a whole. Against this backdrop, the RWI is investigating the economic significance of the steel scrap recycling industry for Germany and Europe. The aim of the study is to shed light on the economic significance of the steel scrap recycling industry in Germany and Europe in its various dimensions.
