Could this be the scrap plan that saves UK steel?

Описание: What’s needed to secure our steel industry?

In this second episode from the UK Metals Expo 2025, hosts Tim Rutter and Abi Thomas explore the urgent need for a national scrap strategy — a missing link in the UK’s decarbonisation journey.

With £1.25 billion already committed to Tata Steel UK’s transition to electric arc furnace production, experts highlight why clean scrap sourcing, supply chain collaboration, and supportive policy — including trade defence measures to protect against global overcapacity — are essential to success.

This series explores what’s needed to build a sustainable, competitive future for Tata Steel UK and the wider supply chain, with insights from top voices across the sector.

Featuring:
• Professor Cameron Pleydell-Pearce, Swansea University
• Gabriella Nizam, 7Steel
• Pete Hodgson, Tata Steel UK
