In 2023, the United Kingdom led European iron and steel waste exports outside the EU28, trailed by the Netherlands and Belgium. The UK's exports stood at 7.4629 million metric tons. The Netherlands, showcasing strong growth, increased by 3.18%, while the UK exhibited modest growth at 1.2%. Poland saw the highest increase at 17.23%, whereas Romania and Greece faced declines of -4.02% and -6.89% respectively. Malta showed a notable decrease of 11.8%.
