European Steel Scrap and Circular Economy Forum 2026 to focus on low carbon steel and recycling

The 2nd European Steel Scrap and Circular Economy Forum 2026 is set for November 11-12 in Dusseldorf, with a hybrid format. The event will bring together scrap processors, steel producers, technology providers, and policymakers to discuss how steel scrap can drive the industry's low carbon transition. Steel scrap is highly recyclable and cuts carbon emissions significantly compared to primary steel production, making it a key material for circular economy goals. The forum will cover topics like the competitiveness of the EU scrap industry, supply chain resilience, electric arc furnace optimization, and financing decarbonization in circular steel. Attendees include steel producers, recycling equipment suppliers, automotive and construction firms, and environmental consultants. The event aims to build practical roadmaps for a more sustainable steel ecosystem across Europe.
