Having tackled a tough year, the industry remains strong despite the subdued global economic climate and latent demand for scrap and finished steel products. But with an uncertain future ahead, it is vital to stay on top of the issues shaping the epicenter of the global ferrous scrap industry. This conference will bring you detailed analysis of the domestic and international trends impacting the industry in order to help you navigate these uncertain but potentially rewarding times.

Keynote speakers and executive panels will address the economic and competitive issues impacting US steel scrap supply and demand, at both international and domestic levels. In addition, discussions around the use of alternatives and high-quality scrap shortages will answer many of the questions posed by those worried about managing the costs of raw materials in steel production.

Bringing together senior level decision makers from all sides of the market, this event provides an ideal forum for all those involved in the scrap trading cycle. Whether you are a scrap recycler, a trader, in logistics, from a steel mill or an equipment provider this event will put you right in touch with the very latest information at a conference with unrivalled networking opportunities.
