In a special forum on April 21, liu shuzhou, deputy secretary general of China scrap iron and steel application association, made a report on the development review and prospect of scrap iron and steel industry. In 2012, scrap iron and steel industry has withstood severe tests.

Scrap processing distribution system continued to deepen, increase the amount of iron and steel scrap processing distribution enterprises, the production of fine scrap's ability to continue to expand China's iron and steel scrap application association deputy secretary-general Liu Shuzhou retrospect and prospect of iron and steel scrap industry report according to the association statistics, in 2012 the national iron and steel scrap steel consumption, 84 million tons, 7 million tons less than 2011 tonnes in 91 million, a 7.7% decline this broken since 2000 to maintain the trend of increased year by year, 7 million tons of a major turning point is a big data, let us reflect on a lot of problems, enterprise benefit

It is difficult to find an ideal balance point between national policies on social benefits under the current situation. In 2012, China's three major sources of scrap steel resources changed significantly. The enterprise produced 36.5 million tons of scrap steel by itself, an increase of 900,000 tons over the same period, an increase of 2.5%.

44.2 million tons of scrap steel were purchased by the government, a decrease of 6.6 million tons or 13% over the same period.

Import scrap supply 3.7 million tons, 1.4 million tons less than the same period, the decline of 27.5% in 2012, iron and steel scrap total 84.4 million tons of resources, deducted out material, 1.5 million tons of waste time, the remaining 82.9 million tons of resources, inadequate consumption part by reducing inventory, 1.1 million tons of complement for the amount of scrap steel imports, is a domestic iron and steel scrap iron and steel enterprise consumption reduction, the second is foreign iron and steel scrap prices, 2012 ordinary iron and steel scrap import price is higher than the average during the same period, forcing importers to reduce foreign procurement of iron and steel scrap

Although iron and steel scrap market downturn in 2012, but did not stop the 2012 national iron and steel scrap processing distribution system construction ministry released scrap processing industry access conditions and scrap processing industry application notice, for the construction and development of iron and steel scrap processing enterprises set up the threshold of the specification of iron and steel scrap industry equipment level was improved, the equipment manufacturing industry to speed up the development step, recovery processing technical content increased, the production environment to improve conditions in 2009 and 2010, the state shall adopt the tax 70% to 50% of the tax preferential tax policy, promote the development of the iron and steel scrap processing distribution system construction

Tax preferential policy in 2011, increased the operation cost of iron and steel scrap recycling companies, pull the market prices higher, affect the enthusiasm of steel mills to eat more iron and steel scrap, cause the loss of social scrap purchase quantity, steel scrap consumption decreased significantly increased the consumption of energy resources, increase the "three wastes" emissions are expected to reach 750 million tons of crude steel production in China in 2013 or so domestic scrap steel prices will not ups and downs, maintain a small consolidation operation situation;

Import scrap steel prices will be slightly lower, 2020 years ago, China is not a large number of scrap steel exports, imports 1000-0 million tons a year scrap supply gap of domestic resources, multi-purpose scrap steel is the inevitable trend of historical development in view of the current domestic scrap steel processing industry development present situation, the deputy secretary Liu Shuzhou recommendations, the government departments concerned to meet the conditions for iron and steel scrap processing industry access enterprise that carried out 70% value-added tax preferential policies, the use of scrap more companies to give difference of tariff reduction, environmental protection, such as cost and energy saving fund subsidy policy, in order to encourage steel multi-purpose use less scrap iron ore

For enterprises that meet the requirements for access to the scrap steel processing industry, we will grant them the qualification to import scrap steel, increase the resource channels for scrap steel, and expand the consumption of scrap steel
