Countries are recycling more scrap domestically to reduce the use of pollutive feedstocks like iron ore in the steel-making process. For India, which is scrap deficient due to a relatively small consumer base, imports are key to its target of doubling steel production capacity to 300 million tons by the end of the decade. Producers are following policy developments such as the EU’s update of its waste shipment rules, which came after China tightened scrap metal exports.

These restrictions centered on tracking user activity on social media platforms in great detail and creating user profiles based on their interests, location, and content preferences. Furthermore, in August, the Norwegian agency imposed a daily fine of 1 million kroner ($90,000) on Meta for failing to comply with the ban.
