The global steel industry is entering one of the most transformative periods in its history. Volatile raw material costs, rapidly shifting trade flows, and the intensifying drive toward de-carbonisation are reshaping the sector at speed. At the very centre of this change lies scrap. Once regarded simply as a cost input, scrap is now both a strategic raw material and a cornerstone of the industry’s low-carbon future. Its availability, quality, and pricing dynamics will increasingly define the competitiveness of mills, traders, and suppliers worldwide.
Steel Scrap 2026 offers a unique opportunity to hear directly from global leaders shaping the future of scrap and steel. Suppliers from Europe, the US, Japan, and the UK will share how export restrictions, tariffs, energy costs, and local market pressures are influencing flows. Leading mills from Türkiye, India, China, and the US will provide perspectives on evolving raw material strategies, substitution trends, and long-term procurement approaches.
Beyond supply and demand, the programme will spotlight technology and innovation. From automation and AI in scrap sorting to advances in metallics production and recycling, experts will demonstrate how these developments can raise efficiency, improve quality, and underpin the steel industry’s transition to low-emission production.
The conference concludes with a forward-looking debate on pricing. With macroeconomic uncertainty, shifting supply-demand balances, and new trade dynamics all in play, the question of where scrap prices will head in 2026 is one that matters to every market participant.
With an unrivalled mix of suppliers, mills, traders, and technology providers, this event is designed to deliver more than timely intelligence. It is a platform for high-level debate, meaningful dialogue, and valuable networking. In a rapidly changing industry, Steel Scrap 2026 is where the future of scrap and steel will be discussed, challenged, and defined.
