The upcoming BIR Non-Ferrous Metals Division meeting will provide yet another stand-out occasion for recycling industry professionals to compare notes on the latest day-to-day issues confronting the sector, ranging at present from weaker generation and the generally low level of demand for scrap to the age-old struggles with price turbulence and currency fluctuations. But of course, these gatherings also present an unmissable opportunity to identify and review all those wider developments that have the potential to impact how the industry operates, not least the ceaseless flow of new legislation worldwide. So if your business is non-ferrous scrap, then Abu Dhabi on October 24 is the place to be.
