Last year, the mainstream iron and steel enterprises to recover the use of social waste steel increased by 6.8 million tons. At the end of 2016, China's steel reserves have reached 8 billion tons, scrap resources have exceeded 160 million tons.

Scrap steel industry should be realized as soon as possible recycling, dismantling, processing, distribution, the use of the whole process of integrated operation.

By the end of 2020, China's steel reserves will reach 10 billion tons, scrap resources can reach 200 million tons.

The next 3 years to 5 years, China will usher in the rise of scrap steel applications, scrap steel processing and distribution industry promising.

On April 15th, Gu Jianguo, executive vice president of China Iron and Steel Industry Association, co-sponsored the 10th China International Symposium on Metal Circulation Application and China Iron and Steel Application Association, organized by China Iron and Steel Industry Association and China Iron and Steel Application Association. Members of the General Assembly so that.

Scrap steel market to drive the industry to the difficulties

Thirteen years of the beginning of the year, by the steel industry market to pick up and banned steel and other factors, the total consumption of scrap steel and comprehensive unit consumption both rising, scrap steel market bottomed out, showing the waste of iron and steel enterprises from the difficulties of small spring The

According to statistics, in 2016, China's scrap consumption of 90.1 million tons, an increase of 6.8 million tons, an increase of 8.16%; scrap consumption of 111 kg / ton, an increase of 7 kg / ton, an increase of 6.73%; scrap ratio of 11.1% , An increase of 0.7 percentage points. Significant increase in scrap consumption in 2016, with the highest consumption of Shibao Steel Group reaching 357.38 million tons, the largest increase in scrap consumption increased by 24.95%; scrap steel consumption of the highest Baobao Group Baosteel scrap consumption reached 262.64 Million tons, the largest increase in scrap steel consumption increased by 17.44%.

At the same time, China's waste steel production has also increased. According to the Association of scrap statistics, in 2016, the total amount of scrap steel resources in the country was 92.91 million tons, an increase of 7.71 million tons. Steel production 44.3 million tons of scrap, accounting for 49% of total consumption, an increase of 2.4 million tons; 464 million tons of scrap steel procurement, accounting for 51% of total consumption, an increase of 5.55 million tons; steel scrap inventory increased by 90 Million tons. Imports of 2.16 million tons of scrap, down 17 million tons.

And scrap steel resources, consumption together with the rise, as well as scrap steel prices. From the beginning of last year, scrap steel market prices all the way up, the average price rose 400 yuan / ton ~ 500 yuan / ton, the highest price than the lowest price doubled.

Especially in the second half, due to coal prices doubled, leading to rising costs of iron, iron and steel enterprises continue to increase the use of scrap steel, many steel companies are buying heavy scrap, the use of scrap steel as a steel, energy saving The effective measures. China Iron and Steel Application Association executive vice president and secretary general Li Shubin introduction to heavy scrap, for example, in January 2016, the price of 1153 yuan / ton, to November rose to 1829 yuan / ton, or 36.9%. The average price in the fourth quarter of 2016 was 1750 yuan / ton, up by 560 yuan / ton, or 32%. Demolition ship and the new scrap to sell up to 2,000 yuan / ton ~ 2200 yuan / ton, the recent scrap market prices temporarily fall.

There are still three problems in the comprehensive utilization of scrap steel

Turning to the comprehensive utilization of scrap steel, Li Shubin said that China's comprehensive utilization of scrap steel still exists three aspects.

First, China's scrap steel recycling rate is still relatively low compared with the global average, far from the level of developed countries. In addition, during the second five, China's average steel scrap ratio of 11.4%, with the realization of thirteen five plan target gap.

Second, the Ministry of Finance, the State Administration of Taxation issued a "comprehensive utilization of resources products and labor value-added tax preferential directory" ([2015] No. 78) on the scrap of iron and steel enterprises to add value-added tax that is 30% of the preferential policies are not completely landed The In the third quarter of last year, the Scrap Association conducted an online survey of the refund of 151 incoming enterprises. The results of the survey showed that only 49 enterprises enjoyed the tax rebate policy, accounting for about 32% of the total number of enterprises.

Third, the current state of the use of green resources, scrap steel and steel slag solid waste treatment policy measures to be further strengthened.

Scrap steel industry should seize the opportunity to achieve development

Gu Jianguo pointed out that China's scrap than the developed countries compared to the larger gap, which also means that there is a huge room for development. There are many reasons why China's scrap is much lower than scrap (scrap / scrap / scrap + hot metal), such as scrap resource issues; more importantly, the use of scrap is higher than the cost of using iron ore. At present, China's steel-making scrap ratio of 11%, some developed countries, the value of several times higher than China, such as Turkey to 86.79%, the United States 70.74%.

It is estimated that by the end of 2016, China's steel reserves have reached 8 billion tons, scrap resources have exceeded 160 million tons; by the end of 2020, China's steel reserves will reach 10 billion tons, scrap resources can reach 200 million tons. In this regard, Gu Jianguo said: scrap resources can meet the demand.

He further pointed out that since last year, the fight against the strip of steel also released a lot of scrap resources, in order to regulate the development of scrap industry, improve scrap than to bring a good opportunity. Gu Jianguo introduction, recently, Steel Association in some long process enterprise research found that these enterprises use the enthusiasm of scrap steel is very high, many enterprises tons of steel scrap consumption has reached 150 kg or so, and 2016 industry converter scrap tons Steel consumption averaged 72.1 kg. The use of heavy iron and steel, will inevitably to a certain extent, inhibit the amount of iron ore. He said.

Thirteen is an important turning point in the plight of the scrap steel industry. According to industry insiders and experts predict that the next 3 years to 5 years, social waste steel production will enter the peak period. At the same time, the implementation of the new environmental law and environmental supervision efforts continue to increase, the establishment of carbon emissions trading system throughout the country for the development of scrap steel industry to create the conditions. According to the experts pre-sentence, with the country to combat the steel and to increase the capacity to continue to increase, coupled with the slow recovery of the global economy and domestic demand driven, iron and steel enterprises operating situation will continue to improve, thirteen five scrap steel Industry situation will be better than the second five.

With the withdrawal of billions of tons of steel production capacity, scrap steel resources gradually increased, the flow tends to be reasonable. Last year, the mainstream iron and steel enterprises to recover the use of social waste steel increased by 6.8 million tons, the first two months of this year, social waste steel consumption increased by 3.8 million tons, scrap ratio reached 12.05%, is the best level since the second five. In this regard, the experts said that scrap steel resources and price advantages highlighted, the iron and steel enterprises should seize the opportunity to increase the converter scrap to 16% to 18%; electric furnace steel to eat more scrap, scrap ratio should be gradually 80%.

Li Shubin pointed out that the construction of scrap steel processing and distribution system is an important measure for the structural reform of the supply side. He called for scrap steel processing and distribution enterprises to seize the current favorable opportunity, and iron and steel enterprises to establish stresses integrity, stresses credibility, stresses quality, fully reflects the supply and demand win-win industry chain, do everything possible to meet the needs of steel mills.

For the iron and steel industry reform and innovation, transformation and upgrading of ideas and direction, Li Shubin also gives two suggestions:

First, firmly establish the integration of waste steel industry thinking. He pointed out that in the next 5 years to 10 years, the amount of scrap steel resources will rise sharply, forcing iron and steel enterprises to use scrap, good scrap, reduce carbon emissions era is coming. He stressed that the scrap steel industry should be as soon as possible to achieve recycling, dismantling, processing, distribution, the use of the whole process of integrated operation, diversification, intensive development, the only way to make the development of iron and steel industry and iron industry, Intertwined

Second, cultivate and build scrap steel, metallurgical slag industry leading enterprises, improve enterprise fine management capabilities. For example, China Gezhouba Group Co., Ltd. has jointly reorganized dozens of scrap steel recycling processing and distribution enterprises, for the entire industry transformation and upgrading, joint reorganization provides an example.
