The Netherlands, through the Port of Rotterdam — Europe's largest port — is one of the continent's most important scrap metal trading hubs. Dutch traders handle significant volumes of European scrap for export and processing.
Rotterdam is Europe's primary port for scrap metal exports, handling material from Germany, France, Belgium, and beyond for export to Turkey, Asia, and other destinations. The Netherlands has significant metal processing and recycling capacity, including major operations for non-ferrous metals.
CFR Rotterdam is a key global pricing reference for ferrous scrap. The Netherlands is a transit and processing hub as much as a domestic scrap producer. Major traders operate in Rotterdam with global reach.
