France has a significant scrap metal recycling sector, underpinned by its large industrial, automotive, and construction industries. French scrap is priced in EUR, with strong integration into the broader European scrap market.
The French scrap industry is represented by the FEDEREC federation. Major players include Galloo (Belgium/France), Suez, and Veolia. France generates substantial ferrous and non-ferrous scrap and exports to Turkey, Mediterranean, and other European markets.
French ferrous scrap is typically priced against the Turkish CFR import benchmark. Non-ferrous tracks LME. Export activity is strong from the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts.
