Session 3. Analysis of scrap trade flows in global market. When will Russia become net-importer of steel scrap?
- Markets monitoring by regions: Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, South-East Asia countries, China, India, EU countries, Turkey, Middle East, Africa, and the USA.
- Panel discussion. Problems of foreign businessman working in Russia (scrap procurement, export): bureaucratic obstacles, customs barriers, taxes, infrastructure.
- Scrap export and import.
Russia can not provide itself with enough volumes of steel scrap anymore. Introduction of some new electric steel making capacities together with load increase at the existing ones will lead to the situation when even full ban on scrap export in Russia does not help. The solution will be import.
The Forum will be attended by all the biggest scrap processing companies in the world with processing capacity of over 7 million tons.
As per some estimations there is shortage of high quality heavy scrap. Thus, the situation when low quality light scrap is exported whereas heavy scrap is imported seems quite natural in Russia. If global economy falls into recession, scrap supply in the market will be rather high due to electric steel output reduction in developed economies, which are the biggest scrap sources.
For metallurgical giants scrap import may occur to be economically and logistically effective.
- Scrap exchange. Creating scrap exchanges in Russia, Turkey, and EU.
The idea: The biggest metallurgical companies purchase standard scrap grades at scrap exchanges.
The companies approved by an exchange only can trade at the exchange. Violation of quality standards leads to impossibility of contracts with large buyers. Thus the quality problem is solved.
Existing scrap processing departments of metallurgical holdings become the biggest certified exchange traders.

Session 4. Mini- and micro-mills
The concept of new mini and micro-mills introduction changes along with the changes in scrap market. Their energy performance improves, which leads to the decrease of minimum level of production volume and the projects costs. The competition of mini-mills and big integrated plants continues. The score is 3:1 in favor of integrated plants, but the game is not over yet

Session 7. Creating of a self-regulating organization in Russian scrap procurement sector. Market regulation: self-organization or underground work?
400 Russia scrap procurement companies with monthly processing volume over 3000 tons are invited on special participation terms.
- Integrated mills’ presentations
- Principles of new organization creation. Acceptance of members.
- Responsibility of the self-regulating organization for scrap quality and schedule of supplies to steel plants.
- Marginality range as the guarantee of scrap procurement businesses development into effective businesses.
- Educational programs for the self-regulating organization members. Participation of industrial universities in the work of the organization.
- Participation of integrated metallurgical plants in the work of the organization.
- Change of the legislation and licensing
Why the question of self-organization is so topical today?
First of all, Russia has approached the point of real shortage of steel scrap.
Most players of the market know that in this situation they should invest into scrap processing quality improvement (i.e. equipment), switch to working according with industrial quality norms, as well as demolish schemes and one-day companies etc.
Here rises the idea of scrap export restriction or full prohibition.
This leads to the necessity of creating of a self-regulating organization as a body which would undertake the questions of licensing, standardization, and market analysis.
The separate question is the “marginal range” that allows scrap procurement development as effective business.
It is clear that the idea realized by scrap collecting and scrap processing companies only without participation of metallurgical enterprises will not work, because thus the main contradiction between the market participants is not eliminated.
