Steel scrap is one of the most recycled materials. It uses approximately 35 percent less energy and reduces emissions of greenhouse gases up to 87 percent. The use of scrap is not unproblematic, however, and the accumulation of quality-compromising tramp elements has become an increasing threat to its use and viability as a "raw material" for steel. As a steelworks in a country without iron ore, the Danish Steel Rolling Mill and its history between 1963 and 2002 provide a good case study for looking at these facets in the nature of scrap. The successful recycling of scrap at the mill required a well-organized collection regime, while quality control at the mill ensured that industries such as the Danish shipyards could remain competitive.
