Germany in the Global Melting Scrap Trade

Germany has a long tradition in metals production and recycling. The country supports steel, copper, aluminium, zinc, and stainless steel industries through a mix of publicly listed companies and private operators.

The sector is concentrated in the Rhine-Ruhr industrial corridor, with additional operations across Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, Saxony, and Lower Saxony. Hamburg and Bremerhaven are the principal export ports for material moving to international destinations.

The Bundesverband der Deutschen Entsorgungs-, Wasser- und Rohstoffwirtschaft (BDSV) represents the German scrap industry.
