BIR Abu Dhabi 2023 – Programme announcement for Ferrous Division: What does the future hold for recycled steel?

Following a turbulent 2022, the first quarter of this year brought some welcome relief - partly because a mild winter had diluted Europe’s energy crisis and because banking worries in the USA and Switzerland had fallen short of escalating into full-blown disaster. Subsequently, however, the recycled steel market fell 20% and has been largely becalmed at these lower levels for several months amid slow demand fuelled by economic and geopolitical uncertainty. So what could change this picture? A more robust recovery in China? An end to the cycle of interest rate hikes? Join us at the BIR Ferrous Division meeting in Abu Dhabi on October 23 to hear industry experts evaluate the current position of the recycled steel industry and where the future may lead.
