Various Advantages Associated with the Use of Recycled Iron to Propel the Market Growth

Published: Jul 2023

The global iron recycling market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 7.7% during the forecast period (2023-2030). The demand for iron and steel is rapidly growing with industrialization and population growth. Recycling iron ore reduces the resilience of virgin ore extraction and conserve the available for future generation. According to the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI), steel made from iron is the most recycled material on the planet. Growth of the global iron ore market was supported by factors such as increasing production of crude steel, escalating urban population, upsurge in GDP, and accelerating consumer durables industry. By partnering in steel recycling, companies can collectively work toward reducing their carbon footprint and promoting sustainable practices. For instance,
