Netherlands in the Global Melting Scrap Trade
The Netherlands punches far above its size in the melting scrap trade. Its deep-water ports — Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and the terminals along the rivers — make it a natural gathering and export point for European ferrous and non-ferrous scrap moving to mills worldwide.
Tata Steel's integrated works at IJmuiden anchors domestic steelmaking, while the recycling side is led by large processors: HKS Metals (part of Germany's TSR group), Riwald Recycling (acquired by ArcelorMittal), and Jansen Recycling Group on the waterways at Dordrecht. The zinc smelter at Budel is one of Europe's largest.
