Recommendation
Previously used steel, also known as scrap, will play a central role in efforts to decarbonise the UK steel industry. The high availability of scrap in the UK represents a valuable resource which is under-utilised, and a range of measures will be needed to ensure that the recycling of scrap is a more attractive option for UK steel producers than exporting it abroad for others to recycle. We welcome the work of the UK Steel Council in attempting to find solutions to this issue and call on Ministers from both the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy and the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (with respect to waste policy) to work with the Council to optimise steel recycling in the UK. (Paragraph 191) The future of the UK steel industry
