Ukrainian authorities aim to ban scrap exports

Ukrainian authorities are preparing to ban scrap exports from the country to help local steelmakers.

In July 2021, the country's national steel union Ukrmetallurgprom called for a ban on scrap metal exports after export volumes of the product surged amid a sharp global price rise that threatened to leave local producers short of raw materials.
