Which country has most scrap?

The largest importer of steel scrap in the world is Turkey, with an import volume of around 25 million metric tons in 2021. This figure far exceeds the import volumes of other major steel scrap importing countries, such as India, which imported approximately 5.1 million metric tons. The reason for Turkey’s high demand for steel scrap is due to its steel industry’s need for this material as a primary raw material for production.
