Scrap metal
Carbon steel as well as stainless steel scrap primarily is a European export flow. A great deal of scrap from the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium converges in Rotterdam, after which it is shipped in bulk or by container to countries such as Turkey and Egypt.
Scrap metal mainly serves as a raw material for the production of round products. Stainless steel scrap is sorted in Rotterdam after which it is exported in bulk or by container to smelting plants in Finland, Spain, Italy and the Far East.
