Global scrap consumption in steel-making (excluding foundries) increased by around 12% in 2021 to 620 million tonnes from 548 mnt in 2020, reveals SteelMint research.
It may be noted that 2020 was a year of flux as it saw the onset of Covid and thus crude steel production went up a mere 10 mnt and scrap usage dropped compared to 2019.
