The Australian Steel Institute (ASI) is set to present at a Federal Senate inquiry on September 20, advocating for restrictions on the export of unprocessed steel scrap. ASI argues that keeping steel scrap within Australia aligns with the government’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, while also supporting local manufacturing and job creation. The ASI has been pushing for such measures since 2022, highlighting the negative impacts of exporting unprocessed scrap, including increased emissions and the depletion of local resources.
