Circular Steel in Scotland: Current Landscape and Opportunities

As a highly recyclable material, steel has the potential to achieve high levels of circularity, and there is an active, global market for steel scrap. As a high-performance material (e.g., durable and strong), steel is expected to be in high demand to contribute to the building of renewables capacity as part of the energy transition. This report seeks to understand the current landscape for steel scrap generation in Scotland and its subsequent treatment, and to explore what opportunities there may be for increasing the circularity of the steel within Scotland.
