Scrap Metal Market in Germany
The German scrap market is highly organised, with major processors including ALBA Group, TSR (ThyssenKrupp Schulte Recycling), and Becker Stahl-Service. Ferrous scrap feeds Germany's large EAF sector (Salzgitter, SSAB). Non-ferrous (copper, aluminium, zinc) supports the large metals processing industry. German scrap is priced in EUR/tonne.
German ferrous scrap prices are referenced by the BDSV (German Scrap Dealers Association) monthly indices. Prices are typically quoted ex-works (ab Werk) or CIF Rotterdam/Hamburg. Germany is both a major producer and consumer of scrap.
