Canada in the melting scrap trade

Canada in the Global Melting Scrap Trade

Canada is both a significant steel producer and one of the world's steady net exporters of ferrous scrap, with large processors in Ontario and Quebec shipping to US mills and overseas markets. The Hamilton and Sault Ste. Marie steel plants anchor the domestic melt, with a major transition to electric arc furnaces under way.

In non-ferrous, the Horne smelter in Quebec is one of the world's principal destinations for copper-bearing and electronic scrap, while zinc smelting in British Columbia and recycled aluminium billet production in Ontario round out a broad secondary metals base.
