Sweden in the melting scrap trade

Sweden in the Global Melting Scrap Trade

Swedish steelmaking is disproportionately specialised — engineering steels, tool steels and advanced stainless — and much of it melts on recycled feed in electric furnaces. The industry's move toward fossil-free steel is reshaping the country's demand for scrap further.

At Skellefteå, the Rönnskär smelter is one of the world's principal recyclers of electronic scrap alongside primary copper, while Nordic-wide recyclers headquartered in Gothenburg run collection across the region.
