Constellium may halt EU recycling expansion over scrap shortage
Constellium may cancel EU recycling expansion plans due to scrap metal shortages caused by exports. CEO Ingrid Joerg cited multiple projects under review, potentially larger or smaller than a €130M expansion in France. The EU's waste shipment regulations may not effectively limit scrap outflows, according to Joerg. Constellium faces challenges from the EU's carbon border tax and rising energy costs, but US operations benefit from tariffs and high recycling rates.
