This year has gone down as one of the toughest years in many for the global nonferrous scrap industry and the recycling industry overall. With new initiatives getting launched in every corner of the world to reduce waste and increase material recycling for the manufacture of new products, one would think there would be less ending up in our landfills. Unfortunately, that simply has not been the case.

2017 was a turbulent year for the scrap industry. What seemed to start out as a speculative guideline from the Chinese government quickly evolved into a firm action that has affected almost every scrap supplier in every corner of the world. However, as with every challenge facing businesses these days, there comes opportunities that if tackled correctly, will help businesses thrive and flourish.
